about

The lyrics are from chapter one (Down The Rabbit Hole) of Lewis Carroll's book Alice in Wonderland.

lyrics

It was all very well to say ‘Drink me,’ but the wise little Alice was

‘What a curious feeling!’ said Alice; ‘I must be shutting up like a
telescope.’

And so it was indeed: she was now only ten inches high, and her face brightened up at the thought that she was now the right size for going through the little door into that lovely garden. First, however, she waited for a few minutes to see if she was going to shrink any further: she felt a little nervous about this; ‘for it might end, you know,’ said Alice to herself, ‘in my going out altogether, like a candle.
