Wonderland - Michael Franks

Woke up in time to catch the evening news

Sure got some leaders who can spread the blues

I fried some rice up in the frying pan

Headed out the door

Went to wonder, wonder, wonderland

Wonder, wonder wonderland

Down in wonderland I pass the time away

We play the piano But it ain’t no Steinway

Some fallen angel usually takes my hand and leads me around the corner of

wonder, wonder, wonderland

Wonder, wonder, wonderland

All of the people in wonderland have wondrous plans that never come to pass

Life in all her wisdoms made them low

All of the people in wonderland have no regrets they’ve always placed their

reigns on debts

Down in wonderland the geals ain’t joking take you to heaven for a subway token

Each night my woman is with a different man

Leaning on a bar down in wonder, wonder, wonderland

Wonder, wonder, wonderland

All of the people in wonderland have wondrous plans that never come to pass

Life in all her wisdoms made them low

All of the people in wonderland have no regrets they’ve always placed their

reigns on debts

Down in wonderland we drown all our sorrows

Got too much yesterdays and no tomorrows

So if you need me I’ll be on the stand

Fingering the ivories in wonder, wonder, wonderland

Wonder, wonder, wonderland

All of the people in wonderland have wondrous plans that never come to pass

(wonderland, wonderland)

Life in all her wisdoms made them low (wonderland, wonderland)

All of the people in wonderland have no regrets they’ve always placed their

reigns on debts (wonderland, wonderland)

Life in all her wisdoms made them low (wonderland, wonderland)
