I’m late, I’m late,

So incredibly late!

I must hurry on fast,

I’ll never be on time!

I hear each minute past

And all the hours chime!

I’m late, I’m late,

So late for this new date!

These legs must keep moving

I cannot wait or stop,

I cannot stop running

Until I reach the top

Or my top will come off,

Oh yes, go on and scoff!

It shows you have not seen

Or ever met the queen!

I’m late, I’m late,

I should have been there at eight!

How can I, with weather so misty,

Ever be on time for the tea party?!

Did you ever hare the story?
