Project Gutenberg just released "Songs from Alice in Wonderland" for free on the internet. Scores and midis are provided in the online book.
Here are two songs in the book for your enjoyment…
How doth the little Crocodile
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On ev’ry golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!
*****
Beautiful Soup
1. Beautiful soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the ev’ning, beautiful soup!
Soup of the ev’ning, beautiful soup!
Beautiful soo-oop!
Beautiful soo-oop!
Soo-oop of the e-e-ev’ning,
Beautiful, beautiful soo-oo-oop!
2. "Beautiful soup! Who cares for fish,
Game, or any other dish?
Who would not give all else for two p-
ennyworth only of beautiful soup!
Pennyworth only of beautiful soup!
Beautiful soo-oop!
Beautiful soo-oop!
Soo-oop of the e-e-ev’ning,
Beautiful, beautiful soo-oo-oop!"
