Sound the Festal Trumpets

 

Sound the festal trumpets, set the bells aringing, Here are curried crumpets, crocodiles and beans. Raise on high the chalice in all honor singing, Welcome, welcome, Alice with the noble Queens. Welcome, welcome, Alice with the noble Queens, Welcome, welcome, Alice with the noble Queens, Welcome, welcome, Alice with the noble Queens, Welcome, welcome, Alice with the noble Queens.
