Before Tea（エミリーン）
詩：A.A.Milne 曲：ダコーダ
Emmeline has not be seen
For more than a week. She slipped between
The two tall trees at the end of the green….
We all went after her. “Emmeline!”
“Emmeline, I didn’t mean –
I only said that your hands weren’t clean.”
We went to the tree at the end of the green.
But Emmeline was not to be seen.
Emmeline came slipping between
The two tall trees at the end of the green.
We all ran up to her. “Emmeline!
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Why, it’s more than a week!”
And Emmeline said, “Sllies,
I went and saw the Queen.
She says my hands are purfictly clean!”
