Please speak softly to my boy

And just ignore his sneezes

He does it to annoy

Because he knows it teases.

 

Ooh la la la pepper makes it better

Ooh la la la nothing nice as pepper

Spicy nicey peppercorns

Keep your baby snug and warm

Ooh la la la lovely, lovely pepper

 

I speak softly to my boy

And bless him when he sneezes

For he can thoroughly enjoy

The pepper when he pleases

 

Ooh la la la pepper makes it better

Ooh la la la nothing nice as pepper

 

Spicy nicey peppercorns

Keep your baby snug and warm

Ooh la la la lovely, lovely pepper

 

Put more pepper in the pot

Tastes too spicy? No, it’s not!

Everybody likes it hot

Sprinkle on the pepper

 

Ooh la la la pepper makes it better

Ooh la la la nothing nice as pepper

Spicy nicey peppercorns

Keep your baby snug and warm

Ooh la la la lovely, lovely pepper

 

We’re quite the pair

We’re walking on air

I haven’t a care

Since we got taller

 

It’s hard to believe

What we could achieve

Looking down on the trees

Now we are taller

 

Now we’ve got it right

Found the perfect height

Yes the future’s bright

Now we are taller

 

Now we are taller

ALICE (spoken)

But now you mention it,

it is a long way down.

 

It’s making me scared

So high in the air

I was happy down there

When we were smaller

 

Let’s try just a piece

Of the mushroom beneath

Chew it up with our teeth

And we’ll get smaller

 

Now we’ve shrunk down in size

Can’t believe our own eyes

But it’s worth it to try

Being smaller

 

We’re so nimble and light

We can dance through the night

And It just feels so right

Being smaller

 

Now we’ve got it right

Found the perfect height

Yes the future’s bright

Now we are smaller

 

Being smaller.

Yes we’re making our way

Through the forest today

And we’re happy to say

That we’re smaller

Yes we’re happy to say

That we’re smaller.

It is quite an intense competition

You adopt an athletic position

I can say without fear of suspicion

You must race just as fast as you can.

 

You’ll be trying so hard to keep breathing

And all of your feathers are heaving

Never think for one second of leaving

 

We must all race as fast as we can

On your marks.....

Get set.....

GO!

 

Caucus race

It’s a raucous chase

 

And it’s hardly ever in good taste

It’s a caucus race

So, let’s all keep up the pace

Till someone claims the winner’s place

 

I’m losing my breath from the running

And the rules seem quite fiendish and cunning

I don’t know if I’m going or coming

But I’m running as hard as I can

 

I feel that my feathers are flying

But my hope of a victory is dying

 

But remember the aim is for drying

We must all race as fast as we can

 

Caucus race

Such a raucous chase

And it’s hardly ever in good taste

Caucus race

So, let’s all keep up the pace

Till someone claims the winner’s place
