Mad hatter

Intro slow

mad hatter

mad hatter

i am mad hatter

Verse 1 slow

Clean the porcelain, polish the silver

My hands are shaking, my heart’s in a quiver

The tea is boiling, the steam starts to scream

I’m the king of a world made of nothing but dreams

Check the pocket watch, we’re five minutes late

For a date with a destiny served on a plate

The rabbit is running, he’s losing his fur

And everything’s blurry, a whimsical blur.

Chorus up beat

Welcome to the tea party, grab a cracked cup

The floor is the ceiling and down is the up

I’ve lost my marbles, I’ve misplaced my mind

But look at the treasures I managed to find!

I’m the Mad Hatter, wild in the brim

The world is a sinking ship, come for a swim

We’re all a bit broken, we’re all a bit wrong

So stand on the table and sing us a song!

Verse 2 change beat

The Red Queen is shouting, "Off with his head!"

But I’ll just wear a bucket and hatchet instead

I’m painting the lilies a shade of deep blue

Because red is too honest and yellow’s not true

The Cheshire is grinning, he’s fading away

Leaving his teeth for the end of the day

I’m talking to shadows, I’m arguing with air

There’s a party in my skull and you’re all invited there!

Bridge

Tick, tock.

The mercury is rising.

Tick, tock.

The sanity is dying.

I used to know my name...

I used to play the game...

But the felt is too tight and the ribbons are frayed

In the workshop of madness, the price has been paid.

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Welcome to the tea party, grab a cracked cup

The floor is the ceiling and down is the up

I’ve lost my marbles, I’ve misplaced my mind

But look at the treasures I managed to find!

I’m the Mad Hatter, wild in the brim

The world is a sinking ship, come for a swim

We’re all a bit broken, we’re all a bit wrong

So stand on the table and sing us a song!

Outro

Six o'clock forever!

Pass the sugar...

Pass the salt...

It’s nobody’s business and everyone’s fault!

(Hysterical laughter)

"A very merry unbirthday to... me."
