I’m the hatter, hatter, hatter, hatter, hatter,<\/p>\n
Listen to that catter, catter, catter, catter,<\/p>\n
He doesn’t know whose madder –<\/p>\n
Me or the March hare.<\/p>\n
What nonsense he will chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter,<\/p>\n
Pay no\u00a0mind – I don’t know who put him there,<\/p>\n
Really and truly he ought to adorn a chair<\/p>\n
And act as a cushion like Mallymkum there,<\/p>\n
A chair? A dresser? A table? A desk?<\/p>\n
Oh – wait one moment for I have a test –<\/p>\n
Why is a raven like a writing desk?<\/p>\n
You don’t know the answer?<\/p>\n
Oh, you must be a chancer, evasion romancer<\/p>\n
How will I ever learn<\/p>\n
With so much tea in the earn?<\/p>\n
Come, come, let’s drain it at once,<\/p>\n
Let’s throw in some cakes and iced buns!<\/p>\n
No girl, don’t eat them – you see<\/p>\n
I meant throw them in the earn<\/p>\n
To flavour the tea!<\/p>\n
Mallymkum come here\u00a0– do something for me!<\/p>\n
We must lower you into the pot<\/p>\n
So you can tell us how delicious it got…<\/p>\n
No need for dread – we just need your head,<\/p>\n
It’s full up with treacle – try this tea instead!<\/p>\n
