Subject: RE: Tune for The Mock Turtle's Song
If it's any help, we did "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" as a school play when I was in form 1 (year 7?), back in the mid 60s.
The following is how I remember us doing it.
The transcription is rough and ready as it's totally from memory, some of the repeated notes may be supposed to be 'dotted quaver, semi-quaver' rather than just two quavers.

X: 1
T: MockTurtle
M: 4/4
L: 1/8
Z: NP 25/07/2020
K: C

They are wait-ing on the shin-gle— will you come and join the dance?    Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?    Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance?
