lyrics of the week

This is a song very loosely based on Free's All Right Now. But the tempo is much slower and only the first verse follows the lyrics of the song at all. The verse chords are G to C to G to C and so on. The chorus chords are G to C to F repeated. I capo it on the third fret but it's not necessary. This song is about Alice in Wonderland and the author is, well, me.


All Mad Here
Rock4Ever95


He sat there smiling from his head to his feet
I walked up and said hey there
what's your name
are you insane
maybe we can see things the same
so let's move down and find a new cup
before time passes by

Chorus
They're all mad here
they're all mad here
they're all mad here
oh they're all mad here

My day started with a fall down a hole
I chased a white rabbit with a waistcoat
he said he was very very late
but I don't know for what date.

chorus

I met a hatter and a march hare
i met a dormouse asleep in his chair
I met a duchess and her pig a babe
I met a lot of freaky people on my travels today
because

Chorus

I met the cheshire cat
and he smiled so wide
and the rest disappeared
I asked him which way to go
and he said go this or go that
it doesn't matter because

chorus

I found the queen
playing croquet with hedgehogs and flamingos
she said off with her head
and I started running
and I never stopped because

chorus

It's not great art or anything but I Like it.

I think you should continue writing musical lyrics. Can you grow up to be a historian and and shadow writer for a famous rock band? Go for it!

Not bad. Not bad at all.

That's cool Ezra. Only problem-I've never heard of that song it is based on. See you at play practice.
