The Mad Hatter's Song

By Lewis Carroll

" — — it was at the great concert given by the

Queen of Hearts, and I had to sing

  `Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!

  How I wonder what you're at!'You know the song, perhaps?" "I've heard something like it," said Alice. "It goes on, you know," the Hatter continued,

"in this way: — —

  `Up above the world you fly,

  Like a teatray in the sky.

      Twinkle, twinkle —'"
