My Beautiful Hat Is Back

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Six o'clock and the kettle's gone dry

I keep pacing these little tight rings

Oh dear me this will never do

My hands are wringing themselves raw

Chorus

Somebody took my hat

Somebody took my hat

That grinning cat slipped into the trees

And somebody took my hat

Verse 2

Alice sat down by the anxious white rabbit

The dormouse dozed beneath the ticking clock

She never saw a thing all afternoon

And the March Hare slammed his cup and hopped

He hopped around in disbelief

He broke the saucer on the lawn

Chorus

Somebody took my hat

Somebody took my hat

That grinning cat slipped into the trees

And somebody took my hat

Verse 3

Tweedledee and Tweedledum came crashing through

They asked my Alice what the ruckus was

She told them every word she knew

Dee said we bet a long piece of string

That the Caterpillar knows where Chessy is

Because he is so very smart

Pre-Chorus

And I said you are right

You are right you two

I must have it back on my head

Before the Red Queen comes

Chorus

Somebody took my hat

Somebody took my hat

That grinning cat slipped into the trees

And somebody took my hat

Post-Chorus

Hoo hoo hoo

Hoo hoo hoo

Verse 4

White Rabbit ran and took a wrong turn

Into a party that was not a tea party at all

He asked the Hare had he seen a curious thing

A smiling cat in a hat up a tree

The Hare squealed and slammed and shattered his cup

Saying brothers we must find that tree

Bridge

Then the Queen of Hearts arrived for her cup

I told her I had none

She said she was not amused

She said my head would roll by the setting sun

Then the Red Queen came and told me plain

If you own a thing but it is not where it belongs

Then it does not belong to you at all

Breakdown

No tea no tea no tea

No tea at all

Chorus

Somebody took my hat

Somebody took my hat

That grinning cat slipped into the trees

And somebody took my hat

Post-Chorus

Hoo hoo hoo

Hoo hoo hoo

Verse 5

Then the door swung wide with nobody there

A grin appeared and floated through the room

He set the hat right back upon my head

He brushed a stray hair off the brim

And I danced and I cheered huzzah

My hat my hat my beautiful hat is back

Outro

He bowed and told us all the tale

He took it to a painter near the Lion and the Unicorn

He wanted a portrait of himself in it

And he gave it back to me

For throwing the best tea party in Wonderland

The Caterpillar brought a chest of tea

And the Queens sat down at last

Huzzah huzzah
