Tea With Crazy People

from We're All Mad Here by Ian Rutherford

/

lyrics

They offered me wine, but there was none
The Hatter seems odd and rather rude
The March Hare too – this is no fun
I do not like their attitude!

Having tea with crazy people
Rudeness tends to cause offense
Conversation is a struggle
None of what they say makes sense.

A disputatious trio! Finds fault with all
They contradict everything
“mean what I say” and “say what I mean”
Are not so different

Having tea with crazy people
Watches that don’t tell the time
Riddles that don’t have an answer
Different words for nursery rhymes

Here we go ‘round the table
Time is stuck at six o’clock
After yet another insult
I’ve had enough – I’m off! Yes I’m heading off

Surely only crazy people
Stuff the dormouse in the teapot
How to handle this upheaval
Caused by having tea (with that lot)

silly as a goose and vain as a peacock -
takes more patience than I’ve got

Having tea with crazy people
Puts one in a tricky spot.
