BEAUTIFUL SOUP
(lyrics by Lewis Carroll)

Mock Turtle:

Beautiful soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, —
Soup of the evening, beau-ti-ful Soup!

Beautiful soup, who cares for fish,
Game, or any other dish
Who would not give all else for twop'—,

Alice: Twop???

Mock Turtle:

'ennysworth only of—

Alice: ennysworth???

Mock Turtle:

Two pennysworth, silly, of
Beautiful soup!
