Suddenly he bumps into wood, the door is closed
Walking along this new shag pile
But now the cat comes in for the kill
To take on all those who would fight
But it's all in a mouse's night
Into the night and out of this hole, maybe find me a meal
Think I might go out for a stroll
Unless outside help steps in for our friend in need
Now I can see they're coming at me
The signpost says inside me, let me bear your heavy load
Presents a problem all the while, nearly the door
Knocks a jar upon his head and lays him out
A cat is much quicker than men and their eyes
But it's not to be, that final pounce
Then comes this monster mouse, he's ten feet tall
I'll make it downstairs and into the bread bin, that would be nice
The chase that ensues can have only one end
The door's been opened, my chance to escape
A voice from the bed, he'll be exposed
They won't catch me now, I've been run of the house now
I'm not sleeping with that thing around here, no
Which way to run, must make for the hole
Hold me tightly like the shelter from a storm
Alright then, I'll fetch a box from below
They've blocked off my door, I haven't a chance in hell
His paw is raised, soon blood will spill, yes, it will
Come up close to me you'll soon be warm
With teeth and claws to match
Hard luck, mouse, this is the end of your road
Come on, baby, let the poor thing go
Must run out quick, better sorry than late, I'm out on the stairs
There I was with my back to the wall
The light's been turned on, he's blind as a mole in coal
Guard him carefully, they're very quick you know
Suddenly he bumps into fur, that's very unwise
