Welcome to Wonderland Lyrics

[WONDERLAND VOICES]
Welcome to Wonderland
My god it's half past eight
Who cares if you came late
We don't care where you've been
You're gonna fit right in
A little fun detour
A little crazy, sure
Don't get all insecure

Pardon me, but have you seen
Someone looking like a queen?
Sharpening a guillotine
Prob'ly just as well (Ha!)
She's capricious as can be
Lopping heads of by decree
This week severed forty-three
Cutting them pell mell


What a party has it started snowing?
Everyone not coming will be going
Do you know the queen of hearts new orders?
They're the same as always; close the boarders
Could she be the one, you know?
Tin man, lion or scarecrow?
Wait that's from a different show

[ALICE]
Please start making sense

[WONDERLAND VOICES]
Have you seen my walrus dear?
Big mustache that's down to here

Made the oysters disappear
Claiming self-defense

[ALICE]
Wait, I think you think I think I'm dreaming
And when I wake up I'll wake up screaming

[WONDERLAND VOICES]
We don't think as all we simply feel dear

[ALICE]
Ok, someone tell me what's the deal here

[WONDERLAND VOICES]
Welcome to Wonderland
This is your new address
You'll love it more or less
No time to decompress

It's afternoon all day
There's lots of games to play
Flamingo lawn croquet
So please enjoy your stay
Everyday it's something new
Problems up the old wazoo
Rumors of a palace coup

[ALICE]
Get me out of here

[WONDERLAND VOICES]
Answers are in short supply
Who, what, where, when, how or why
Cross my heart and hope to die
Get it into gear

When your alter-ego's interfering
Self-esteem cannot stop disappearing

Welsome to Wonderland
Start rocking with the band
You're going so damn fast
Your future's in your past

An author always knows
Which way the story goes

So tidy up loose ends
With a little help from your friends

Come on and sing along
Join our little band
Turn up the volume and keep on dancin'
Sit back, enjoy yourself and feel the river flow
Make sure the journey's worth the things you're chancin'
We're all a little nuts in case you
Ooblee, Ooblah
We'd love to stay here but we really gotta go
Ooblee, Oohblah
Life can be fantastic every minute
For as long as you can just stay in it

Welcome to Wonderland
Where everything you see
I mean from "A" to "Z"
Ain't what it seems to be
Welcome to Wonderland
Set phasers up to stun
Turn off the lights when done
Good luck and thanks a ton
Ciao, baby, gotta run
