"The
name of the song is called 'Haddocks'
Eyes.'" "Oh,that's the name of the
song, is it?" Alice said, trying to feel interested.
"No, you don't understand," the Knight
said, looking a little vexed. "That's what the name is
called. The name really is 'The Aged Aged Man.'"
"Then I ought to have said 'That's what
the song is called'?" Alice corrected herself.
"No, you oughtn't: that's quite another
thing! The song is called 'Ways And Means': but
that's only what it's called, you know!"
"Well, what is the song, then?"
said Alice, who was by this time completely bewildered.
"I was coming to that," the Knight said.
"The song really is 'A-sitting On A Gate', and the
tune's my own invention." |
