Cheshire Moon

**SPOILER ALERT!!**
words © 2010 Mark A. Mandel
ttto "(It's Only A) Paper Moon", E.Y. (Yip) Harburg & Harold Arlen
based on the Tim Burton movie "Alice in Wonderland"

It's only a Cheshire moon
Grinning down from an Under sky
And I know it's just a dream,
So I can't really die.

It's only a pack of cards
Marching out in rank and file
But it must be just a dream
Because cats can't really smile.

It's just a dream
I don't have to run away
It's just a dream
But I'm waking up in another day

It's only a chequered field
In the light of a frabjous day
And I'll never wake up unless
The Jabberwock* I slay!
No, I'll never wake up unless
The Jabberwock I slay!

* Yes, I know they call it "the Jabberwocky". They're wrong.
