Lyrics
I was walkin' by the Lone Sock Laudromat That's when I ran into the Cheshire Alleycat He licked a fish head And he smiled and looked up at me He said "I know you, But I can't say where you're from. And you remind me of a guy named Tweedle Dum I've drawn a memory of him right here Won't you come see?" And I laughed at the thought of this peculiar day And I laughed until he went away Alone again, I shuffled through a broken crowd I ran into the man behind the cloak & shroud And every word he had to say was spoken loudly Now underneath his tunic, he was sweating fast But you & I know this was never meant to last So now somehow the subject keeps on Slipping past me And I laughed at the thought of this peculiar day And I laughed in yet another way I'm feeling satisfied, I think I've pulled my weight As someone famous once said, "Hey son, it's getting late They say today a baby may be falling down from a tree." I sat awhile beside a warbling water pool It left me feeling like a somewhat smarter fool Which really isn't any new kind of thing to me And I laughed at the thought of this peculiar day And I laughed with nothing left to say
