Can't Hear the Music?


I'm Late

From: Alice In Wonderland
Music: Sammy Fain
Lyrics: Bob Hilliard
Im Late, Im Late
for a very important date,
No time to say hello, goodbye,
Im late, Im late, Im late
and when I wave,
I lose the time I save.
My fuzzy ears and whiskers
took me too much time to shave.
I run and then I hop, hop, hop,
I wish that I could fly.
Theres danger if I dare to stop
and heres the reason why,
(you see) Im overdue.
Im in a rabbit stew,
Cant even say goodbye, hello,
Im late, Im late, Im late.
Good morning Mister Chatterbox
Id love to stoop and chatter,
but in six and seven eighth minutes
I must meet with the mad hatter
the mad, mad, mad, mad Hatter.
We must chat about a very important matter.
Im off to see the queen of hearts
who lives up in the palace,
and the very moment Im through with her
Ive got a date with Alice.
I cant be late for Alice
or the queen of hearts who lives up in the palace.
Im late.
