The Caucus Race from Alice in Wonderland (copy for subtitling)

Forward, backward, inward, outward,
come and join the chase!

Nothing could be drier
than a jolly caucus race!

Backward, forward, outward, inward,
bottom to the top,

Never a beginning: there can never be a stop!

Hopping, tripping,
fancy free and gay,

I started it tomorrow but we'll finish yesterday!

Round and round and round we go
until forever more!

Once we were behind,
but now we find we are before!

Forward, backward, inward, outward,
come and join the chase!

Nothing could be drier than a jolly caucus
race!

Come backward

I see!

You'll never get dry that [way]...
