WPCNR SUNDAY COMICS. From a CitizeNetReporter. September 15, 2007: A reader, amused by the earnest Common Council opposition to the recent Request for Qualifications, (two of whom are facing a primary challenge Tuesday), only expressing their "concern" two weeks after it was introduced August 23 by Mayor Joseph Delfino without a public peep until the White Plains Times received the letter September 5 sent this little know lyric in to characterize the way the present Common Council makes policy. The song is from the Walt Disney motion picture, Alice in Wonderland.
Caucus Race
From "Alice in Wonderland" (the Walt Disney motion picture)
Music and Lyrics by Sammy Fain and Bob Hilliard
Forward, backward, inward, outward
Come and join the chase!
Nothing could be drier
Than a jolly caucus-race.
Backward, forward, outward, inward
Bottom to the top,
Never a beginning
There can never be a stop
To skipping, hopping, tripping
Fancy free and gay,
I started it tomorrow and will finish yesterday.
Round and round and round we go
And dance for evermore,
Once we were behind
But now we find we are
Forward, backward, inward, outward,
Come and join the chase!
Nothing could be drier than a jolly caucus-race.
