Jefferson Airplane – White Rabbit lyrics
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're bound to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice when she was just small

When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice, I think she'll know

When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backward
And the red queen's off with her head
Remember what the door mouse said
Feed your head, feed your head, feed your head

    "Alice in Wonderland" given a 1960's twist - Alice didn't go down any actual physical rabbit-hole, but the drugs she took made her think she did. characters and scenes from Lewis Carroll's books appear and disappear throughout the verses - the White Rabbit himself, the animated chesspieces, the caterpillar, the dormouse.
