In the SUGAR-PLUM FAIRY's palace, (in the middle, just off center,) Was a spooky old room, that the LITTLE GIRL knew She was strictly forbidden to enter----- VERSE CHOIR: The door was covered with cob-webs, and this most mysterious room Was dark as an elephant's tummy---still as a mummy's tomb..... But the LITTLE GIRL got curious, curiosity is what killed the cat, She crept to the door, got down on the floor--- And peeked thru' the crack----WHAT'S THAT!??
THE ARAB DANCE: (inst) Spiders, bats, and witches in a grotesque routine. VOICE: "I say Holmes-----wot was that?" (Dance continues till door closes)
