Alice Is At It Again
Composer(s): Noël Coward
Performer(s): Noël Coward
and multiple other artists



In a dear little village
Remote and obscure
A beautiful maiden resided
As to whether or not
Her intentions were pure
Opinions were sharply divided
She loved to lie
Out 'neath the darkening sky
And allow the night breeze
To entrance her
She whispered her dreams
To the birds flying by
But seldom received any answer

Over the field and along the lane
Gentle Alice would love to stray
When it came to the end of the day
She would wander away
Unheeding
Dreaming her innocent dreams she strode
Quite unaffected by heat or cold
Frequently freckled or soaked with rain
Alice was out in the lane

Who she met there
Every day
Was a question
Answered by none
But she'd get there
And she'd stay there
'Til whatever she did
Was undoubtedly done

Over the field and along the lane
Both her parents would call in vain
Sadly, sorrowfully, they'd complain
'Alice is at it again'

Although that dear little village
Surrounded by trees
Had neither a school, nor a college
Gentle Alice acquired
From the birds and the bees
Some exceedingly practical knowledge
The curious secrets that nature revealed
She refused to allow to upset her
But she thought
When observing the beasts of the field
That things might have been organised better

Over the field and along the lane
Gentle Alice would make up
And take up
Her stand
The road was not exactly arterial
But it led to a town nearby
Where quite a lot of masculine material
Caught her rolling eye

She was ready to hitchhike
Cadillac or motorbike
She wasn't proud or choosy
All she
Was aiming to be
Was a pinked-up
Minked-up
Fly-by-night floozy

When old Rogers
Gave her pearls as large as
Nuts on a chestnut tree
All she'd say was
'Fiddle-di-dee!
The wages of sin will be the death of me!'

Over the field and along the lane
Gentle Alice's parents
Would wait
Hand in hand
Her dear old white-headed mother
Wistfully sipping champagne
Said 'We've spoiled our child
Spared the rod
Open up the caviar and say "Thank God!"
We've got no cause to complain!
Alice is at it again!'

Where Was I?
Composer(s): Al Dubin; W. Francis Harling
Performer(s): Charlie Barnett;
and various other artists



Oh where was I the night
that you surrendered to a sigh
Where was I

The moon was high the night
that you first listened to a lie
Where was I

I always felt
that you would melt
in someon`s arms some night
And I was right

The moment came
but what a shame
that someone else came by
Where was I 

Alice In Wonderland
Composer(s): Sammy Fain - Bob Hilliard
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney
and multiple other artists



Alice in Wonderland
How do you get to Wonderland?
Over the hill or underland?
Or just behind a tree?

When clouds go rolling by
They roll away and leave the sky
Where is the land beyond the eye?
The people cannot see

Where can it be?
Where do the stars go?
Where is the crescent moon?
They must be somewhere in the sunny afternoon

Alice in Wonderland
Where is the path to Wonderland?
Over the hill or here or there?
I wonder where?

Where To Now St. Peter?
Composer(s): Bernie Taupin; Elton John
Performer(s): Elton John;
and various other artists



I took myself a blue canoe
And I floated like a leaf
Dazzling, dancing
Half enchanted
In my Merlin sleep

Crazy was the feeling
Restless were my eyes
Insane they took the paddles
My arms they paralyzed

So where to now St. Peter
If it's true I'm in your hands
I may not be a Christian
But I've done all one man can
I understand I'm on the road
Where all that was is gone
So where to now St. Peter
Show me which road I'm on
Which road I'm on

It took a sweet young foreign gun
This lazy life is short
Something for nothing always ending
With a bad report

Dirty was the daybreak
Sudden was the change
In such a silent place as this 

Alice In Wonderland

Alice, pretty little Alice
Pretty little Alice in Wonderland

Alice in wonderland
Won't you take me by the hand
And lead me to your wonderland of love

I took one look at you
And that was all I had to do
Alice, you're the girl I'm dreamin of

Tweedle dum, tweedle dee
You have made my life a fantasy
You don't know what you're doin to me
My heart goes pitter patter cause I'm mad as a hatter for 

Alice my little girl
There is no other in this whole wide world
Take me by the hand, tell me you understand
Alice, Alice in wonderland

Tweedle dum, tweedle dee

You don't know what you're doin to me
My heart goes pitter patter cause I'm mad as a hatter for 

Alice my little girl
There is no other in this whole wide world
Take me by the hand, tell me you understand
Alice, Alice in wonderland

Oh Alice, pretty little Alice
Pretty little Alice in wonderland 

Where There's A Will, There's A Way
Composer(s): Bonnie Bramlett; Bobby Whitlock
Performer(s): Delaney & Bonnie



Honey, when we're together
It seems like we've both got a whole lot of nothing to say
But I know if we try, we can work it out someday, good lord
I know if we try, we can work it out someday

[Chorus:]
Because I believe if there's a will
Sure enough, honey, there's a way
If there's a will, yeah yeah
Sure enough, honey, there's a way, oh lord

There ain't no need to worry
'Cause nothing's wrong, it just ain't the time or place, no no
And you can believe nearly every word I say, oh yeah
You can believe nearly every word I say

[Chorus]

Got to get a thing together
Little less talking, we have lot's more to say
When we're alone, it's going to happen anyway
When we're alone, it's going to happen anyway

[Chorus 3x]

Performer(s): King's Singers



Alice in Wonderland would understand 
A little Queen of Hearts like you
But in my book it said: Off with his head! 
And that's exactly what you'd do 

Indeed, I lost my head completely when 
On the river one summer's day 
All in the golden afternoon 
We glided far away

Oh, Alice, how I loved you

The fairy cakes you made, the lemonade
The funny stories that I told
How Tweedle-Dum and Dee could not agree
And Father William who was very old
Mad Hatter on a spree, Doormouse dunked in the tea
All of that day to me was gold

We let the silent sand run though our hands
The setting sun became a glow
I recall, down the long years between
Where did my Queen of Hearts go? 

Alice in Wonderland
Where are you now, my love?

Where There Was Darkness
Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford; Valerie Simpson
Performer(s): Diana Ross



Where there was darkness
You came and now there's
An abundance of light
Nothing but sinkin' sand
Suddenly I reach out
There's your hand

What a feeling it is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
And now I know that
I won't be alone no more

I'll give you all I have
And if you teach me
I will learn to give you more

You are my anchor now
And like a ship at sea
Ooh, your love will steady me

What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
And now I know that
I won't be alone no more

I'm so glad
Just wanna thank you baby
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
Thank you baby
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go 

Alice In The Looking Glass
Composer(s): Matraca Berg - Gary Harrison
Performer(s): Matraca Berg



At nine o'clock each morning down on Charlotte Avenue
The bus driver stops and lets her off
Before the first shampoo
Alice started working there when she was just a girl
And now she mans the second chair
At Thelma's Cut and Curl

A trim is just ten dollars and the conversation's free
She recreates the latest styles of 1963
With a lipstick-circled cigarette constantly aflame
She greets all her clientele
By first and middle names

And even though that mirror paints a picture much too clear
She'll mix you up some magic and she'll dye away the years
And, oh, they come and go so fast
Don't they, Alice -- Alice in the looking glass

One time she was married, but now she lives alone
But there's a little ancient poodle
Waiting there for her at home
And she'll tell you all about him like he was her only child
And rubs her swollen ankles
While she waits for you to dry

There's a picture on the mirror there of her at seventeen
The day that Thelma did her hair when she was football queen
And, oh, they come and go so fast
Don't they, Alice -- Alice in the looking glass

Even though that mirror paints a picture much too clear
She'll mix you up some magic and she'll dye away the years
And, oh, they keep coming back
Don't they, Alice -- Alice in the looking glass

Where The Wind Blows
Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



Gotta travel through rain and snow
And follow the trail where the mountains grow
Where the winds blow, where the winds blow
Maybe I'll ride over yonder
Maybe I'll hide, maybe I'll wander
Gotta have time just to ponder my soul
Maybe I'll go where the winds blow
(Where the winds blow)
Sheriff is ridin' behind me
Thinkin' that he is going to find me
To the live oak he will bind me, I know
Danglin' low, where the winds blow

Keep a-movin' on ya darned old Charlie horse
Take me to the hills
You gotta be right in a two gun fight
Or push up the daffodils
But if you beat him to the draw
You gotta get shot or break the law
Keep a-movin' on you darned old Charlie horse
Where the winds may blow

Maybe my gal knows my sorrow
Maybe I'll see her tomorrow
Gotta have time I can borrow
But no, can't let her go where the winds blow
Wonder if she is thinkin' of me
Watchin' the same stars above me
How can I ask her to love me and go
Where the winds blow, where the winds blow

Gotta travel through rain and snow
And follow the trail where the mountains grow
Where the winds blow, where the winds blow

Where the winds blow 

Alice Blue Gown
Composer(s): Harry Tierney - Joseph McCarthy
First performance/First recording by: Edith Day - 1919/Columbia Light Opera Company - 1920
Covered by multiple other artists



I once had a gown, it was almost new
Oh, the daintiest thing, it was sweet Alice blue
With little forget-me-nots placed here and there
When I had it on, I walked on the air
And it wore, and it wore, and it wore
'Til it went, and it wasn't no more

In my sweet little Alice blue gown
When I first wandered down into town
I was both proud and shy, as I felt every eye
And in every shop window I primped passing by
Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
And the world seemed to smile all around
'Til it wilted, I wore it, I'll always adore it
My sweet little Alice blue gown

The little silk worms that made silk for that gown
Just made that much silk and then crawled in the ground
For there never was anything like it before
And I don't dare to hope there will be any more
But it's gone, 'cause it just had to be
Still it wears in my memory

In my sweet little Alice blue gown
When I first wandered down into town
I was both proud and so shy, as I felt every eye
And in every shop window I primped passing by
Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
And the world seemed to smile all around
So it wouldn't be proper if made of silk were another
My sweet little Alice blue gown

Steve Hackett; Anthony Phillips; Mike Rutherford
Performer(s): Genesis



We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now

Look inside your mind
See the darkness creeping out
I can see the softness there
Where the sunshine is gliding in
Fill your mind with love
Find the world of future glory

You can meet yourself
Where the sour turns to sweet
Leave your ugly selfish shell
To melt in the glowing flames
Can you sense the change
See your eyes, now listen

We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We want you with us
Come and join us now

Paint your face all white
To show the peace inside
Drift away while the saffron burns
To the land where the rainbow ends
Can you sense the change?
See your eyes in focus

We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now

We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now

We want you with us
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now 

Alice
Composer(s): Tom Waits - Kathleen Brennan
First release by: Tom Waits - 2002



It's dreamy weather we're on
You waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond with a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows I saw
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond
They spell Alice

I disappear in your name
But you must wait for me
Somewhere across the sea
There's a wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide
And the raindrops on my window
And the ice in my drink
Baby all I can think of is Alice

Arithmetic arithmetock
Turn the hands back on the clock
How does the ocean rock the boat?
How did the razor find my throat?
The only strings that hold me here
Are tangled up around the pier

And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice

And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
There's only Alice 

Where The Morning Glories Grow
Composer(s): Richard Whiting - Ray Egan - Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



I remember, I remember the place where I was born
Where the morning glories twine around the door at early morn
I've forgotten, I've forgotten how long I've been away
But I'd like to wander back again down the lane to yesterday
I want to wake up in the morning where the morning glories grow
Where the sun comes peepin' in where I'm sleepin' and the songbirds say "Hello"
I long to wander in the wildwood where the rippling waters flow
And go drifting back to childhood, where the morning glories grow
I remember, I remember the schoolhouse on the hill
And I wonder if the tiny folks are climbing up there still
I can picture, I can picture the dear old swimming pool
And the happy days that I spent there when I should have been in school
I want to wake up in the morning where the morning glories grow
Where the sun comes peepin' in where I'm sleepin' and the songbirds say "Hello"
I long to wander in the wildwood where the rippling waters flow
And go drifting back to childhood, where the morning glories grow

Alice, Alice had a dream
She dreamt Elizabeth Taylor was her next door neighbour
She's candy floss in a 60s skirt
She's I learn to pogo
But she ain't no flirt
She dresses in pink yellowy blue
She walks around with nothing to do
Shes Richard and Judy
Cider and sleep
The one that you look at walking down the street

Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright
Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright

Alice, Alice had a dream
She dreamt her Dr Martens turned to ice cream
She's a strawberry girl with a Robert Smith poster
She's fishnet and lipstick but she didn't nick it
She's all tattoo and laces polka dot and stripe
The girl on the bus not the one on the bike
She's 77 all of the day
And I know that you're listening
When you're hearing me say

Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright
Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright

Alice, Alice had a dream
She had sex with a rabbit in the forest of Dean
She's chocolate in an Oxfam wispa
She's all upstairs and downstairs
She comes from Gloucester
She's Manchester, Brighton, Weybridge and home
She'll tell you all about it when she's on the phone
She's oh what a bargain and that's really nice
And if you have her for dinner no meat only rice

Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright
Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright
Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright
Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright 

Where The Golden Sliprails Are Down
Performer(s): Slim Dusty



Let's walk down that long road together
the road that we know as lifes span
if you'll be my wife, 'til the end of my life
I'll be your true lovin' man
we'll take each steep grade together
let showers of strife tumble down
we'll share every bend 'til we find in the end
Where the golden sliprails are down

Let's walk down that long road together
'til lifes long journey is done
our thoughts straight ahead, like the great saviour said
we'll find his home one by one
in the glory of his tender blessing
eternal love will abound
no gates will be closed, in that heavenly abode
Where the golden sliprails are down

Let's walk down that long road together
the light from our love will show the way
your sweet tender smile will lighten each mile
and roll the dark clouds away
so come let us walk to the altar, our lives forever be bound
then we'll go as one towards the setting sun
Where the golden sliprails are down

Now Alice needed money I put $10 on the breeze
As the wind died away she sank way below her knees
And as a hurricane passed by she clutched the money from the sky
She must have been at least a fathom high
She works the 42nd beat on 42nd street
with all her golden ambitions and dead rhinestones in her feet
and when a stranger said she sucked she just smiled believing luck
as she climed into his truck to make a buck
Oh my god, she's running round the trees
Said she couldn't touch them because they're so real
Alice you remind me of Manhattan
The seedy and the snaz, the shoeboys and the satins
Like a throne made of gilt that too many johns have sat in
Oh, I got my eyes on you
Now keep a watch on your watch and a watch on her watch
cause if you ain't too careful he's gonna kick you in the crotch
and you're out in the cold and you know that you've been rolled
and the cops don't even stop and you feel old
See Alice really liked you but you stayed a while too long
now she wants you to forget it and come back before too long
but make it quick if you could, she's gonna star in Hollywood
the producer seems to think, she's kinda good
Me and my camera eyes sitting on a fence
laughing at the lights of New York City
Alice you remind of Manhattan
the seedy and snaz, the shoeboys and the satins
like a throne made of gilt that too many johns have sat in
Oh, just come over
Roll Up
See Alice on the palace where her name adorns the boards
ain't no flash in her Cannes, she got the willpower of a horse
and it's a long way to Broadway from a 42nd lay
or is it really just a couple of blocks away
Now I wonder if she wonders if I wonder if she wonders
about the times I put her down when she seemed to be right under?
She told me morals are traditions, contradictions, superstitions
see Alice is always based on split decisions
Me and my stupidity sittin' on a fence
and digging what I thought was New York City
Oh Alice, you remind me of Manhattan
the seedy and snaz, the shoeboys and the satins
like a throne made of gilt that too many johns have sat in
Oh, I like you
Yeah Alice, the lights were meant for you
your weaknesses successful and your selfishness the clue
you gotta lose what you get and for what you get you lose
Oh, I know it
Oh Alice, don't stop and think a minute
or your brain is gonna get ya, drop your heart right in it
and you're a shooting star and you'll die if you don't win it
Yeah
You didn't make the book

Where The Boys Are
Composer(s): Howie Greenfield; Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Connie Francis



Where the boys are, someone waits for me
A smilin' face, a warm embrace, two arms to hold me tenderly
Where the boys are, my true love will be
He's walkin' down some street in town and I know he's lookin' there for me

In the crowd of a million people I'll find my valentine
And then I'll climb to the highest steeple and tell the world he's mine

Till he holds me I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me

Till he holds me I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me
