Settle down and listen up good. The old Hatter is gone but the hat must go on Worn by me. Is that understood? So shut up and toe the line, while I redefine how this all will be mine. I have a dream that’s got a full head of steam. What is true, what is not, can both change in a shot, And people, me, I couldn’t care less. Cause in two seconds flat, living under my hat Is the strategy for success. I will look the other way when you wanna play Something more than croquet. You catch my drift? My little personal gift. I’m the Mad Hatter. Come and follow me; this is it. The Mad Hatter. All you gotta do is submit. And if you don’t, my friend, well then, in the end, There’ll be nothing left to defend. Know what I mean? When you are facing the Queen. Uppercased, double spaced, everyone gets a taste, And a brand new leather hat band. But to participate, let me reiterate, you must first put me in command. I’m the wonder, understand. Under Wonderland, put the reigns in my hand. I’ll do the rest, as soon as you’ve acquiesced. I’m the Mad Hatter, offering a little bit more. The Mad Hatter, giving you what you’re looking for. I am your best-worst case for the choice you face. I’m the fastest rat in the race. It’s me or the queen and her serene guillotine. There is nothing I won’t do, there is nothing too taboo. I will lie. I will cheat. I will track you down and then hit delete tout’ suite. So sweetie let me repeat: I’m the Mad Hatter, pledge allegiance while you still can. The Mad Hatter, more than just a hat with a plan. I am where you belong, the right kind of wrong, And I’ll still be going real strong. The bottom line is everything will be fine. As all the planets align. It’s gonna be so divine. When all of this will be mine.
