Down the hoooole where the teacups roooo
Quirky orchestral opera, dramatic strings and brass, big belty vocals-think Phantom meets circus. Add scat adlibs, sudden tempo shifts from waltz to frantic chase, a little harpsichord for weird. End in fading laughter. female lead plus male baritone, twisted lullaby, dissonance

Lyrics
Down the hoooole where the teacups rooooll, hookah puffing purple smoooke. La-la-la-la-what a joke! I'm LAAAAATE, I'm LAAAAATE for a tea of queenly graaaace! Tumbling through the rabbit hole's ga-a-a-a-te... but the Hatter's hats-they're quite the disgraaaace! [Verse 2: mezzo, dramatic] Grinning fiend with stripes unseeeen, whispering riddles in-beee-tween. Cheshire Cat, you're such a mean machiiiine! I'm LAAAAATE, I'm LAAAAATE for a tea of queenly graaaace! Tumbling through the rabbit hole's ga-a-a-a-te... but the Hatter's hats-they're quite the disgraaaace! Am I maaad, or is this just baaaaad? Tea leaves swirling, feeling saaaaad... I'm LAAAAATE, I'm LAAAAATE for a tea of queenly graaaace! Tumbling through the rabbit hole's ga-a-a-a-te... but the Hatter's hats-they're quite the disgraaaace! Like Cheshire's past.
