lyrics

Mock turtle's happy only when he's thrown the lobster into the deep
And swam out in trousers into the sea
So what makes your eyebrow ease into a pleasant place?
It can't be such constant worry

So please put a penny in the old man's hat
Asleep on the stoop
He'll thank you when he wakes
And wonders what he's at
Little birds and little bats
Sometimes I wonder what you're at

Cheshire moon rises and smiles a bit then falls below
The harvest moon right with a golden glow
The winter moon's next, a silvery quiet one
The time keeps on ticking
A Timex on the mock turtle

So please put a penny in the old man's hat
Asleep on the stoop
He'll thank you when he wakes
And wonders what he's at
Little birds and little bats
Sometimes I wonder what you're at
