SILLY PROGHOLES’ THREAD

Damn... Peter, I completely forgot about this tune. I haven't listened to the Stranglers in about ten years. Looks like I'll have to get back too 'em.

From Aural Sculptures:

Mad Hatter

He's mad he's mad
He's mad he's mad
You may have read the book
You might have seen the film
But I've seen it with my eyes
Was it tweedle-dum? Was it tweedle-dee?
But Isaw through his disguise
There was a Cheshire cat next to a water rat
And a JuJu awful wise
We were sat to eat now was it trick or treat?
We were in for a surprise
Here comes the Mad Hatter
Here comes the Mad Hatter
Here comes the Mad Hatter
He doesn't need a hat He's not crazy eves
And he rolls them round the group
He's got stories tall and a winning smile
As he then surveys his troups
Then he'll about a lot of things
In a song you've never heard
But it sounds so sweet He gets up on his feet
And he's looking for the word
Here comes the Mad Hatter
Here comes the Mad Hatter
Here comes the Mad Hatter
Mad as the Mad Hatter
Mad as the Mad Hatter
Mad as the Mad Hatter
It went on oh quite late as I went through the gate
And I began my journey back
I was glad to know that I'd seen the show
That I'd found a happy jack
Because they're getting rare, we never get our share
Seem to be a dying breed
But they're so much fun Laughter's on the run
As the Hatter plants the seed
Here comes the Mad Hatter
Here comes the Mad Hatter
Here comes the Mad Hatter
Mad as the Mad Hatter
Mad as the Mad Hatter
Mad as the Mad Hatter

I wonder what the hatter was mad about? perhaps the umbrella salesman put him out of business?

or perhaps he went insane smelling his tanning lotions...

Where is he?

The man        with the scissors...?

He just went up      (baumwolle strikes again)   and ate CHEESE.

For he didn't return while the chicken watched the lightning crawl

...

through the trees

...

without mercy

and Mary

 ^ Ha! Good one, eh!

How about these lines, Danbo?

"Then fill up the glasses with treacle and ink,

Or mix anything else that is pleasant to drink:

Mix sand with the cider, and wool with the wine --

And welcome Queen Alice with ninety-times-nine!"

BTW,  Yankie-Doodle-Danbo: As a Newfoundlander, born 1000s of mile from Bob and Doug MacKenzie-land, I don't, really, like, say "eh" like all the time, eh? As in the US, there's, like, many, like, different accents in Canada, eh?

cheese, anyone?
