lyrics

The Madhatter

Yes I’m freaky sometimes deeky
And I wonder why you’re pointing
I’m no different than you

Yes I’m mad and you’re glad
That’s just bad and its sad
Why is it me and never you?

Dancing in circles in funny little squares
My hat falls to the floor
All kinds of people are looking over here
The Madhatter I fear is me.

So I wonder what your thinking
I don’t know what you’re seeing
I’ve done nothing to you.

How can I take this cloud
Over me like a shroud?
I’m left with one thing to do.

Dancing in circles in funny little squares
My hat falls to the floor
All kinds of people are pointing over here
The Madhatter I fear is me.

And my Hat it just said
Don’t throw me on your bed
Bad things will happen to you

but they are here and far
and it breaks my Mad heart
why is this cloud over me?

Dancing in circles in funny little squares
My hat flies up off the floor
With two blue eyes and a funny little smile
She sings to me:

“I’m so High, so High. I’m High as a kite.”

I can’t win in this game
So I think I won’t play: I tip my Mad Hat to you.
