The Walrus and the Carpenter

Dance and scene. Possible dialogue during.

 

The Carpenter is sleeping, the butter’s on his face. The vinegar and pepper are all about the place. Let oysters rock your cradle and lull you into rest. And if that will not do it, we’ll sit upon your chest. We’ll sit upon your chest, oh! We’ll sit upon your chest, oh! The simplest way to do it is to sit upon your chest!
