The Caucus Race

"The Caucus Race" is the fifth song of Disney's 1951 animated feature film, Alice in Wonderland.

Lyrics[]

Original[]

All: 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!

Dodo: To skipping, hopping, tripping,
Fancy free and gay,
I started it tomorrow,
but I'll finish yesterday!

All: Round and round and round we go
Until forevermore,
Once we were behind
But now we find we are be-

Dodo: Forward, backward, inward, outward,
Come and join the chase!
All: Nothing could be drier than a jolly caucus-race!

Reprise[]

All: Forward, backward, inward, outward
Here we go again
No one ever loses
And no one can ever win

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