The Mock Turtle's Lament

Richard Farber

Beautiful Soup, so rich and green,

Waiting in a hot tureen!

Who for such dainties would not stoop?

Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!

Beautiful Soup!

Soup of the 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?

Beautiful Soup!

Soup of the evening,

Beautiful, beautiful soup!
