Beautiful soup
so rich and green
waiting in a hot tureen
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening,
beautiful soup...
soup of the evening, beautiful soup.
Boo-ooo-tiful soup!
Soup of the evening:
beautiful, beautiful soup.
Beautiful soup, who cares for fish,
game, or any other dish?
Who would not give all else for two...
penny-worth only of beautiful soup?
Boo-oo-oo-tiful soup!
Soup of the evening!
Beautiful, beautiful soup!
Try to cheer up, old chap
it's not all that bad...
At least you know who you are, and you have your home
Me, I don't know if I'll ever get home
and who will feed my cat, Dinah?
What if no one feeds her?
A fine mess that'll be!
Why don't you tell this nice girl here your history?
No, no, it's too sad!
Just tell me the happy part, if there is one...
it doesn't matter if it's short...
Go on and tell this nice girl here your history, old chap
...if it's not too long...
All right, I will tell it, then!
Once I was a real turtle,
Then I had a run-in with the Queen
She certainly is mean!
That she is!
When I was a turtle, I went to school under the sea...
That must have been nice!
The teacher was an old turtle, whom we called 'Tortoise'...
But, if he was a turtle, why did you call him 'Tortoise'?
Because he TAUGHT US!
Everyday we did lessons:
The first day it was 8 hours;
The second day seven hours; the next day 6...
What a very novel plan!
That is why they call them 'LESSONS'
I didn't know that.
I don't know the curriculum in your school district
Have you ever had the lesson about Father William?
Yes, I remember it!
'You are old, Father William', The young man said,
...and your hair has become very white
and yet, you incessantly stand on your head...
do you think, at your age, it is right?
'In my youth' Father William replied to his son,
I thought it might injure the brain,
but now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
why, I do it again and again.
'You are old!' said the youth,
one would hardly suppose that your eye was as steady as ever...
..yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose...
What made you so awfully clever?
'I have answered one question, and that is enough'
Said his Father, 'Don't give yourself airs'
Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?
Be off, or I'll kick you downstairs!
You are old, Father William!
Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?
Be off or I'll kick you downstairs!
Sir, you seem most knowledgeable...
Do you know how I might get home?
I do not know, I'm only a Mock Turtle now, you know
You should go and speak to Humpty Dumpty...
He can explain the meaning of any poem in existence,
...and a great deal of other ones...
First you must get to the other side of the square you are standing in...
...come on, I will show you the way.
