In A World Of My Own / Very Good Advice

(If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.) (Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it is isn't.) (And contrary wise, what it is, it wouldn't be.) (And what it wouldn't be, it would) Cats and rabbits Would reside in fancy little houses And be dressed in shoes and hats and trousers In a world of my own All the flowers Would have very extra special powers They would sit and talk to me for hours When I'm lonely in a world of my own There'd be new birds Lots of nice and friendly howdy-do birds Everyone would have a dozen bluebirds Within that world of my own In a world of my own In a world of my own my own In a world of my own In a world of my own In a world of my own I could listen to a babbling brook And hear a song that I could understand I keep wishing it could be that way I keep wishing it could be that way I keep wishing it could be that way Because my world would be a Wonderland (Well, when, when one's lost, I, I suppose it's good advice) (to stay where you are until someone finds you.) (But, but who'd ever think to look for me here?!) (Good advice) I give myself very good advice... But I very seldom follow it That explains the trouble that I'm always in “Be patient” is very good advice But the waiting makes me curious And I'd love the change Should something strange begin Well, I went along my merry way And I never stopped to reason I should have known there'd be a price to pay Some day I do give myself very good advice But I very seldom follow it Will I ever learn to do the things I should I do give myself very good advice But I very seldom follow it Will I ever learn to do the things I should In a world of my own In a world of my own
