Lyrics[]
Mad Hatter: Oh, it's crazy to be sane
Never ever use your brain
Or soon you'll find your mind behaving
Like a hurricane!
March Hare: It's much smarter to be dumb
If there's trouble, let it come
When you fuss and fret, who do you get?
The sanitarium!
Mad Hatter: You are smart
If you're dull
When the world's so full of brains
It makes you individual!
March Hare: Oh, you never have a pain
If you're balmy in the brain!
Mad Hatter: What you don't know can't hurt you
So it's crazy to be sane!
Dormouse: Twinkle, twinkle, wittle bat!
How I wonder what you're at!
Up above the world you fwy
Wike a tea tway in the sky!
Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle...
