Chessy's Tree

Verse 1

Sat down at the table with the Rabbit on my right

The Dormouse dozed beneath the clock

Never saw a thing that night

The Hare was pouring cups of tea

When something vanished in the leaves

A grin went drifting through the trees

Pre-Chorus

Hatter paced in tiny rings

Wrung his hands and softly sang

Oh dear me this will never do

Chorus

Somebody took the hat

Somebody stole the crown

A smiling cat slipped up a branch

And never made a sound

Somebody took the hat

And left a party in a spin

Won't you bring it back again

Verse 2

Two brothers tumbled through the door

Asked me what the shouting's for

I told them everything I knew

Dee said bet you string so long

That Caterpillar knows the song

He's clever he will see us through

Pre-Chorus

Hatter shook his weary head

Said I need it on my head

Before the Queen comes calling soon

Chorus

Somebody took the hat

Somebody stole the crown

A smiling cat slipped up a branch

And never made a sound

Somebody took the hat

And left a party in a spin

Won't you bring it back again

Bridge

Rabbit hopped into the wood

Took a turn he never should

Asked the Hare have you seen

A curious thing a grinning ghost

Up a tree and off the coast

The Hare just smashed his cup and screamed

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

No tea left in any pot

Queenie stood there getting hot

Said behead him if it's slow

I pleaded please have mercy ma'am

Without my hat I don't know where I am

She said find me tea and go

Pre-Chorus

Dormouse woke and rubbed her eyes

Asked what's all the hassle Basil

Then she drifted off again

Chorus

Somebody took the hat

Somebody stole the crown

A smiling cat slipped up a branch

And never made a sound

Somebody took the hat

And left a party in a spin

Won't you bring it back again

Breakdown

Then the door swung wide and nothing walked in

Floating fur and whiskers grinning

Placed the brim where it belonged

Hatter touched it danced and cheered

Huzzah huzzah the hat is here

Huzzah huzzah huzzah

Final Chorus

The cat came back the hat

The cat came back the crown

He only wanted one small portrait

Of himself in that renown

The cat came back the hat

And brought a chest of tea to pour

Let's have a party once more

Let's have a party once more
