All in the Golden Afternoon is a song featured in Disney Alice in Wonderland. It is sung by Alice and the Flowers of Wonderland.
Lyrics
Flowers:
Little bread-and-butterflies kiss the tulips
And the sun is like a toy balloon
There are get up in the morning glories
In the golden afternoon
There are dizzy daffodils on the hillside
Strings of violets are all in tune
Tiger lilies love the dandy lions
In the golden afternoon
(The golden afternoon)
There are dog and caterpillars and the copper centipede
Where the lazy daisies love the very peaceful life they lead...
You can learn a lot of things from the flowers
For especially in the month of June
There's a wealth of happiness and romance
All in the golden afternoon
All in the golden afternoon
The golden afternoon...
Alice:
You can learn a lot of things from the flowers
For especially in the month of June
There's a wealth of happiness and romance
All in -
Flowers:
The golden afternoon!
Stage adaption
In Alice in Wonderland Jr., the song's meaning changes completely. In this version, the flowers sing to Small Alice about their "very exclusive garden club" known as the Golden Afternoon. The song itself is reentitled "The Golden Afternoon."
Lyrics
Flowers:
Rose and Violet got in last September
And Petunia made the cut in June.
It's not easy to become a member
Of the "Golden Afternoon."
Afternoon, afternoon, afternoon!
For a "Golden Afternoon" never settles
Every day you have to preen and prune
If you want to keep your stem and petals
In the "Golden Afternoon."
Afternoon, afternoon, afternoon!
Rose:
Oh, we can't just let in anyone
Violet:
We're swarmed by wanna bees.
Lily:
All the weeds that we've excluded...
Daisy:
...are the weeds we love to tease:
Violet:
Thistle!
Rose:
Hedgegrow!
Flowers:
Poison ivy!
Eeuuuuu!
If you want to be a bud in our bower,
Learn this secret song and stay in tune.
Otherwise you're just a dried wall flower
To the "Golden Afternoon."
Afternoon, afternoon, afternoon!
