Alice In Wonderland soundtrack – Reeling , Writhing lyrics

My story I'll relate to you
though you may find confusing
about my days in school I'll tell
but please no interrupting
a turtle was our teacher there
we knew him as a tortoise
the reason it can only be
because of the things he taught us

Reeling , Wrihing were the first
and then came some ambition
all part of learning arithmatic
distraction and division
Reeling , Writhing were the first
and then came some ambition
all part of learning arithmatic
distraction and division

Then there was a mystery
yes ancient and yes modern
