lyrics

Once upon a time in a land called La-La
Lived a girl that I once saw
Long black hair straight down her back and
Eyes of green that seemed to catch
Your stare and she would not let go
Until the sheep came running home
Dragging their tales behind them

When I met her she was dowing her third shot of rye
Didn't believe what she said till that rabbit ran by
She talked of uspide down trees, an invisible cat
And a tea party, where you wear five hats

Please help me, I'm afraid for my life
I see that evil look in Alice's eyes

Eenie, meenie, minie, mo
Catch your lover by the toe
Lay her down and kiss her gently
Jack was nimble, but then he

Sitting in a rubber tree, looking at the honey bee
Busy, busy, buzzy bee, just the way he aughta be
Purple moon lights up the night sky
Shining down to where you and I
Sit eating our curds and whey
Just another busy day in a land they call La-La

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum? I'd love to girl but I've gotta run
Things are getting too weird here to stay
She offered me some cake and she said I'd shrink
I said that who you need to see I think
Things are getting too weird here today

Please help me, I'm afraid for my life
I see that evil look in Alice's eyes

Jumping over candlesticks will get your ass burnt
Living on Monopoly but when is it my turn
Lovers stray by the garden pathways
But when they are gone then the band will play

Be aughta he way the just bee, honey the at looking tree
Rubber in a sitting
Lala call they land a in
