Original Cast of Alice By Heart
Manage Your Flamingo
[DUCHESS]
Manage your flamingo
If you play croquet, dear
When you play croquet, dear
You have to do the do

[DUCHESS & KNAVES]
You tuck 'em down low
From feet to the chin

[DUCHESS]
Then batter to your hedgehog
Again and again

[QUEEN OF DIAMONDS]
Oh, manage your flamingo
Like the queen is passing

[KING OF HEARTS]
When the queen is passing
You have to do the do

[DUCHESS & KNAVES]
You plant a rose white
You best paint it red
[KNAVE OF HEARTS]
As soon as she passes

[KNAVE OF CLUBS]
It's off with your head

[QUEEN OF DIAMONDS]
Knaves lose their faces
The faceless must die

[DUCHESS & KNAVES]
Fives club their aces
Diamonds ask why
Why

[ALICE]
Don't they ask why?

[WHITE RABBIT]
Oh, manage your flamingo
Or it's done for you, my love

[DUCHESS]
Oh, she's done with you, my love

[QUEEN OF HEARTS]
Unless you do the do
[KING OF HEARTS]
And tell her how fine
A day for croquet

[KING OF HEARTS & DUCHESS]
And who but the queen could
Conceive such a game

[KING OF HEARTS]
Gather your hedgehog
Set him on the green

[KING OF HEARTS & DUCHESS]
Swing your flamingo

[KING OF HEARTS, DUCHESS, QUEEN OF DIAMONDS]
God save the queen

[DUCHESS]
Will god save the queen?

[ALL]
Will god save the queen?

[DUCHESS]
Will god save the queen?
[ALL]
Will god save the queen?

[ALICE & DUCHESS]
Will God save the queen?
