Very Good Advice Lyrics
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 know there'd be a price to pay
Someday...someday
I give myself very good advice
But I very seldom follow it
Will I ever learn to do the things I should?

About Very Good Advice
"Very Good Advice" is best known as a song from Disney's Alice in Wonderland, and Kat Edmonson's interpretation fits her taste for vintage pop, jazz phrasing, and lightly theatrical delivery. The song is unusual because its childlike setting carries a genuine note of regret: the lyric turns advice, confusion, and self-reproach into something delicate rather than merely whimsical. Edmonson's vocal style can make that tension feel natural, balancing sweetness with a slightly old-fashioned melancholy. As a cover, it works by treating the material seriously enough to reveal the ache inside a familiar animated-film moment.
