-LSB- Illustration -RSB- So they began solemnly dancing round and round Alice , every now and then treading on her toes when they came too close , and waving their fore-paws to mark the time , while the Mock Turtle sang , slowly and sadly , these words : `` Beneath the waters of the sea Are lobsters thick as thick can be -- They love to dance with you and me , My own , my gentle Salmon ! '' The Gryphon joined in singing the chorus , which was : `` Salmon come up ! Salmon go down ! Salmon come twist your tail around ! Of all the fishes of the sea There 's none so good as Salmon ! '' `` Thank you , '' said Alice , feeling very glad that the figure was over . `` Shall we try the second figure ? '' said the Gryphon , `` or would you prefer a song ? '' `` Oh , a song , please ! '' Alice replied , so eagerly , that the Gryphon said , in a rather offended tone , `` hm ! no accounting for tastes ! Sing her ` Mock Turtle Soup ' , will you , old fellow ! '' The Mock Turtle sighed deeply , and began , in a voice sometimes choked with sobs , to sing this : `` Beautiful Soup , so rich and green , Waiting in a hot tureen ! Who for such dainties would not stoop ? Soup of the evening , beautiful Soup ! Soup of the evening , beautiful Soup ! Beau -- ootiful Soo -- oop ! Beau -- ootiful Soo -- oop ! Soo -- oop of the e -- e -- evening , Beautiful beautiful Soup ! `` Chorus again ! ''
cried the XXXXX , and the Mock Turtle had just begun to repeat it , when a cry of `` the trial 's beginning ! ''
