From "Alice In Wonderland" TV special. US premiere by CBS TV 9, 10/12 1985
PLEASE TELL ME, YOUNG LADY, JUST WHAT IS SO GOOD
ABOUT NEVER ONCE BEING MISUNDERSTOOD.
THERE'S FAR TOO MUCH ACCURATE COMMUNICATION,
AND IF IT CONTINUES, I FEAR FOR THE NATION.
NONSENSE, NONSENSE,
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TERRIBLY SHORT OF.
DON'T YOU LOVE NONSENSE?
WE'RE GETTING LETHARGIC
FROM AIMING AT LOGIC,
LET'S PUT A STOP TO THAT.
IF YOU DON'T LOVE NONSENSE,
I'LL KNOCK OFF YOUR HAT!
NONSENSE, NONSENSE,
SIMPLY CAN'T DO WITHOUT IT.
AND SING US A SONG ABOUT IT.
LET YOUNG MASTER BILLY
BE HOPELESSLY SILLY
UNTIL HE IS BLUE IN THE FACE.
WE MUST NEVER BE GRAVE,
THIS NONSENSE WILL SAVE
THE BLOOMING HUMAN RACE.
NONSENSE, NONSENSE,
SIMPLY CAN'T DO WITHOUT IT.
AND SING US A SONG ABOUT IT.
