It's a version of 'Clarence In Wonderland' that has him saying some of the lines rather than singing them. After the line 'Juilet's face was screaming with lightning' he says 'whatever that means', and after 'must have taken something' he says ' yes, that must have been what it was' (or something similar). Can anyone help me to identify the recording? I think it must be a session recording because my memory is that it's got quite an intimate, semi-acoustic feel to it. tvmia Back to top

Sitting on the beach like clarence in wonderland I had a dream and I know you will understand Riding up the beach, it only took a moment Along came a lady looking for amusement She came up to me and everything was smiling And then she said something, it sounded like a violin Let's go to my chateau, we could have a good time Drinking lots of sky wine Miss juliet kate, queen of the moon We're gonna get there soon Gonna get there soon There's no doubt about it Miss juliet kate, queen of the moon We're gonna get there soon Gonna get there soon Miss juliet kate, queen of the moon in june and this tune We're gonna get there soon, soon. soon, soon Here is the link to a website. http://www.metrolyrics.com/ Gary Back to top
