Beautiful Soup – A Colorful Song to Raise Your Spirits



Lewis Carroll wrote a number of songs and poems as part of his popular book for children, Alice in Wonderland. Beautiful soup is one of them, and although short and somewhat simple in appearance, it has a few deep and quite intriguing connotations that Carroll cleverly integrated both into Alice’s entertaining adventure and the mock turtle who sings this song in the story.

This remarkable little poem put to song is primarily a fun piece of literature that you will likely enjoy due to the simplicity of its lyrics and interesting aesthetics of language that the author used in order to create the specific atmosphere of lighthearted mock humor from the story.

The turtle soup depicted by the song is actually one of Carroll’s final blows to Victorian fashion and etiquette. Like the Queen of Hearts herself, the song mocks a well-known Victorian dish known as the mock turtle soup in a subtle and humorous fashion by assigning ironic tones to characterize the soup throughout basically all the lines of the poem.

The song itself is quite entertaining, and you will find playing and singing it will not be a difficult task. Anyone interested in enjoyable songs with a long history will likely be interested in it, and you may also find that children will be just as thrilled by it as by reading Alice’s famous adventure itself.

The song is quite fun and instructional for anyone wanting to start practicing a few simple songs on the piano, and if your children are fond of playing and singing songs, they will likely be able to master this one in no time at all.

Carroll’s songs basically gave life to stories like Alice in Wonderland, offering children of any age and in any generation a truly marvelous gift that has withstood the test of time for many decades.
