Turtle Soup
By Lewis Carroll
"Beautiful Soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not
stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Beau--ootiful Soo--oop!
Beau--ootiful Soo--oop!
Soo--oop of the e--e--evening,
Beautiful, beautiful Soup!
"Beautiful Soup! Who cares for fish,
Game, or any other dish?
Who would not give all else for two
pennyworth only of Beautiful Soup?
Pennyworth only of beautiful Soup?
Beau--ootiful Soo--oop!
Beau--ootiful Soo--oop!
Soo--oop of the e--e--evening,
Beautiful, beauti--FUL SOUP!
As sung, tearfully, by the Mock Turtle to the Gryphon, and Alice....
