I'm Late

I'm late!
I'm late!
For a very important date!
No time to say "hello", goodbye!
I'm late!
I'm late!
I'm late!

I run and then I hop, hop, hop!
I wish that I could fly
There's danger if I dare to stop
And here's the reason why

You see, I'm overdue, I'm in a rabbit stew,
Can't even stop to say "goodbye"
I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.

I'm off to see the Queen of Hearts
Who lives up in the palace,
And the very moment I'm through with her,
I've got a date with Alice.
I can't be late for Alice.

Or the Queen of Hearts who lives up in the palace.

You see, I'm overdue,
I'm in a rabbit stew,
Can't even stop to say "goodbye"
I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!

I'm running late, and when I am, this song frequently pops into my head.  Those who know me might surmise that this song is therefore on a constant feed loop through my head.  You might be right.  Which could explain a lot.

I also frequently feel as if I've gone down the rabbit hole with Alice, but that's another issue entirely.

The White Rabbit from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland sings this song as he looks at his pocket watch.  My brothers and I heard it a lot growing up.  My Dad had made a few reel-to-reel tapes of songs for us, and they were pretty much always playing.  This song, sung by the late Danny Kaye was on one of them.  It's from the Disney movie "Alice in Wonderland."

By the way, did you know that Lewis Carroll's real name was the Reverend Charles Dodgson?

I know that song - I've sung it for LC before. What are the odds?
