The text here has been graciously made available by Charlie Lovett via his book, “Alice on Stage”. These pages approximately follow the text from the 1886 publication. Song lyrics are from the 1896 music score as published on IMSLP. Typos and other corrections can be directed to the Archive’s curators.

NOTE: The libretto and music score do not entirely correspond. Finding a matched pair of libretto and score would be extremely helpful if anyone can offer one for transcription! There are also two songs where the score indicates repetition, but only has words for the first time, and thus the second is absent.
