Lobster Quadrille

[bunsen_h]

Lyr. by Lewis Carroll (C.L. Dodgson), slightly arr. by Joel Polowin
Music: "Quaddie Ballet" by Echo's Children

"Will you walk a little faster?" said a whiting to a snail,
"There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail.
See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance!
They are waiting on the shingle—will you come and join the dance?
    Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?
    Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance?
    Hand off your oysters, and balance your eels
    And toss out your partner in the Lobster Quadrille!

Etc., adding the final couplet to each chorus of the original.
