    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!'

    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

    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

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

    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?

    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

    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

    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

    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
    Composer(s): Dave Parsons - Jimmy Pursey
    Performer(s): Sham 69



    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

    Alice
    Composer(s): Ian Hunter
    Performer(s): Mott The Hoople



    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
