The Tea Party Affair

Verse 1

Tea went cold an hour ago

The Hare keeps slamming down his cup

Somebody took the hat I wore

And I cannot keep my breathing slow

Pre-Chorus

Oh dear me this will never do

I pace in circles small and fast

Wringing both my hands in two

Somebody took the hat I wore

Chorus

Where's my hat my beautiful hat

Chessy took it up a tree

Where's my hat my beautiful hat

Bring it back to me

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Bring it back to me

Verse 2

Alice sat beside the Rabbit

Dormouse dozed beneath the clock

Nobody saw the grin go sideways

Nobody heard a single sound

Then the twins came bursting through the door

Dum said tell us what the fuss is for

Dee said bet a long piece of string

The Caterpillar knows everything

Pre-Chorus

Oh dear me this will never do

I pace in circles small and fast

Wringing both my hands in two

Somebody took the hat I wore

Chorus

Where's my hat my beautiful hat

Chessy took it up a tree

Where's my hat my beautiful hat

Bring it back to me

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Bring it back to me

Bridge

Rabbit hopped off through the brush

Took a wrong turn lost his way

Hare squealed and slammed his cup to pieces

Brothers move we have no time

Find that tree find that tree

Chorus

Where's my hat my beautiful hat

Chessy took it up a tree

Where's my hat my beautiful hat

Bring it back to me

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Bring it back to me

Verse 3

Queenie came and wanted tea

I had none to give her see

She said behead him make it quick

I said please Queenie have some mercy

Pre-Chorus

Oh dear me this will never do

I pace in circles small and fast

Wringing both my hands in two

Somebody took the hat I wore

Chorus

Where's my hat my beautiful hat

Chessy took it up a tree

Where's my hat my beautiful hat

Bring it back to me

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Bring it back to me

Bridge 2

Then the grin came floating in

Hat on head where it had been

Hatter touched the brim and danced

Huzzah huzzah my hat is back

Final Chorus

My hat my hat my beautiful hat

Chessy brought it back to me

My hat my hat my beautiful hat

Let us pour the tea

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Let us pour the tea

Oh-oh oh-oh

Let us pour the tea
