After swimming around in Alice's pool of tears, the animals need to dry off, and The Dodo recommends a caucus race. There are no rules; all of the participants run haphazardly around in no particular direction, and everyone wins.
- In the Disney animated film, a song is made to inspire the caucus race and is sung by the dodo and other animals.
Forward, backward, inward, outward, come and join the chase.
Nothing can be dryer 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 be-forward
