Alice Has Never Been
in China
Here have we China,
And here have we: Alice.
Alice has never been in China,
China never has had Alice;
These rooms never had Alice,
These rooms are not in China.
These rooms never had Alice.
Alice, Alice, crying to the stars,
A while ago, alone;
Alice, Alice, looking at her breakfast,
Moodily, considering last night, what
it had.
Alice, Alice, in a new gown, the best
one yet,
Have you been in China, have you been
in China.
Have you been in China, Alice in your
new gown,
the best one
yet.
China, which waits for you,
China, which has waited millions of years.
Alice, Alice.
China, China.
