Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
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 could 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 own a dozen bluebirds
Within that world of my own
No more trouble for the greatest problem
Would be things a child could understand
And if somehow things could be that way
My little world would be a wonderland
