Lyrics
I’m late, I’m late, for a ver y im por tant date.
No time to say hel lo, good bye, I’m late, I’m late, I’m late, I’m late, and when I wave, I lose the time I save.
My fuz zy ears and whis kers took me too much time to shave.
I run and then I hop, hop, hop; I wish that I could fly.
There’s dan ger if I dare to stop and here’s the rea son why (you see) I’m o ver due; I’m in a rab bit stew.
Can’t e ven say good bye, hel lo, I’m late, I’m late, I’m late.
