Chorus: Susan Test in Wonderland

How do you get to Wonderland?

Over the hills or underland

Or just behind a tree?

When clouds go rolling by

They roll away and leave the sky

Where is the land beyond the eye

That people cannot see?

Where can it be?

Where do stars go?

Where is the crescent moon?

They must be somewhere in the golden afternoon

Susan Test in Wonderland

Where is the path to Wonderland?

Over the hill or here or there?

I wonder where

One sunny day in England, there was a lot of activities in the park. Toons were either playing games or fishing in the pond. Sitting in the tree, was an African American woman with black hair that was held in a ponytail, brown eyes, wearing a yellow dress with a white apron, and yellow slippers. Her name was Tiana, and she was currently reading a history book.

"...leaders, and had been of late much accustomed to usurpation and conquest. Bob and Larry, the earls of Toonia and Toonance declared for him, and even Archibald-" Tiana was cut off when a foot waved at her face. "Susan!"

Sitting on a branch was a 13 year old girl with red hair and blue eyes, wearing a star barrette on her hair, square glasses, a blue shirt with a star on it, a black skirt, white knee highs, and black Mary Jane shoes. She also wears a lab coat. Her name was Susan Test. Right now, she was making a daisy chain rather than listening to Tiana. Accompanying her on a branch was an orange kitten. His name was Oliver.

"I'm listening," Susan told Tiana in a bored voice.

As Susan continued making her daisy chain, Tiana continued reading. "And even Archibald, the archbishop of Toonterbury, agreed to meet Mr. Nezzer and offered him the crown." Meanwhile, Susan placed her completed daisy chain on Oliver's head, who shook it off onto Tiana's head. Susan giggled, but Tiana shouted, "Susan! Will you please pay attention to your history lesson?"

"I'm sorry, Tiana." Susan apologized. "But how can I possibly pay attention to a book with no pictures in it?"

"My dear child, there are lot of great books in this world without pictures," Tiana responded.

Susan rolled her eyes. "In this world, perhaps. But in my world, books would be nothing but pictures."

"Your world?" Tiana asked with a laugh. "What nonsense."

Then an idea sprung in Susan's head. She picked up Oliver and set on her lap. "That's it, Oliver! If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense." Oliver nodded in agreement. "Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't," Susan continued. This perplexed Oliver, who shook his head in confusion. "And in the opposite way, what it is, it wouldn't be, and what it would be, it would. You see?" asked Susan and Oliver nodded and meowed. Susan jumped down to the ground and Tiana was too busy to notice. "In my world, you wouldn't say meow. You'd say, 'Yes, Miss Susan.'" Oliver meowed. Oh, but you would." Susan said as she picked up her cat. She started to walk away. "You'd be just like people, Oliver, and all the other animals too." She put Oliver down in a flower bed, as Susan said, "Why, in my world..."

Susan: Cats and rabbits

Would reside in fancy little houses

And be dressed in hats and shoes and trousers.

(Susan drops a flower on Oliver and he bats it away. Susan lies down in the daisy field.)

In a world of my own

All the flowers

Would have very extra special powers

They would sit and talk to me for hours

When I'm lonely in a world of my own

(A bluebird lands in a tree and begins to chirp.)

There'd be new birds

Lots of nice and friendly howdy-do birds

(The bird goes to a small pond and splashes around in it.)

Everyone would have a dozen bluebirds

(The bird flew back to the branch and dried itself off.)

Within that world of my own

I could listen to a babbling brook

And hear a song that I could understand

(Susan and Oliver lie down on the riverbank.)

I keep wishing it could be that way

Because my world would be a wonderland

As the song ended, Susan closed her eyes and touched a river and her reflection rippled. Suddenly, a new reflection formed farther down the river. Oliver's jaws dropped and he did take a double take. The reflection was a rabbit with white fur, red hair, a pink nose, blue eyes. He was wearing red overalls, blue and yellow polka dot bow tie, and yellow opera gloves. His name was Roger Rabbit. He had his eyes closed as he walked and whistled a tune.

Oliver started to tug on Susan as he meowed loudly, trying to get the girl's attention.

"Oh, Oliver," Susan said. "It's just a rabbit with red overalls..." Her eyes snapped open and she too did a double take with a surprised look on her face. Roger pulled out a pocket watch from his pocket, as Susan added in surprise, "And a watch!"

Roger looked at the watch and a look of shock appeared on his face.

"Jumping jeepers!" Roger exclaimed. He began to run away, as he yelled, "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!"

"Now this is curious," Susan said. "What can a toon rabbit possibly be late for?" She got up and started to follow the toon rabbit and Oliver followed his owner, as Susan yelled, "Please, sir!"

Roger: I'm late, I'm late

For a very important date

No time to say hello, good-bye!

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!

As he disappeared over the hill, Susan stopped and said to her cat, "It must be awfully important, like a party or something!" Then she yelled, as she and Oliver chased after him, "Mister Rabbit! Wait!"

Roger: No, no, no, no, no, no, no

I'm overdue!

I'm really in a stew!

Roger reached a hole in the side of a hill and turned.

No time to say good-bye, hello!

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!

He jumped into the hole and disappeared again. Susan and Oliver ran to the rabbit hole and Susan got down on her knees.

"My, what a peculiar place to have a party," she said and Oliver meowed in agreement. Susan started to crawl into the hole and was surprised to be at the front of a long tunnel. "You know, Oliver, we really, shouldn't...uh...uh...be doing this..." Susan said as she squeezed into the tunnel. "After all, we haven't been invited!" She did fit, but she was a tad too big, as she crawled down the tunnel and added, "And curiousity often leads to TROUBLLLLLLEEEE!" The reason why she had suddenly screamed because she had fallen. The tunnel had lead to another large hole. Oliver was lucky enough not to fall also, as he watched Susan fell down, rapidly. "Good-bye, Oliver!" Susan shouted, as she fell into the darkness and the girl and cat waved to each other. "GOOD-BYYYYEEE!"
