And if something's not done

about it in less than no time...

I'll have everybody executed

all round.

Homo got the part.

Off with your head!

Fill up the glass with treacle and ink...

...and anything else

Mix sand with the cider

and wool with the wine...

...and welcome Queen Alice

Ninety times nine.

It must have been either me

I was part of his dream too.

Bravo.

Welcome to Wonderland.

That was amazing.
