There I was with my back to the wall
Must run out quick, better sorry than late, I'm out on the stairs

Think I might go out for a stroll
But it's not to be, that final pounce
Come up close to me you'll soon be warm

Guard him carefully, they're very quick you know
They won't catch me now, I've been run of the house now
Into the night and out of this hole, maybe find me a meal
The door's been opened, my chance to escape
Then comes this monster mouse, he's ten feet tall
With teeth and claws to match
I'll make it downstairs and into the bread bin, that would be nice
Come on, baby, let the poor thing go
Now I can see they're coming at me
To take on all those who would fight

Which way to run, must make for the hole
But now the cat comes in for the kill

The chase that ensues can have only one end
Hard luck, mouse, this is the end of your road

The light's been turned on, he's blind as a mole in coal
Hold me tightly like the shelter from a storm
Alright then, I'll fetch a box from below
The signpost says inside me, let me bear your heavy load
His paw is raised, soon blood will spill, yes, it will
A voice from the bed, he'll be exposed
Suddenly he bumps into fur, that's very unwise
It only took one blow
But it's all in a mouse's night
A cat is much quicker than men and their eyes
Unless outside help steps in for our friend in need
Presents a problem all the while, nearly the door
I'm not sleeping with that thing around here, no
Knocks a jar upon his head and lays him out
They've blocked off my door, I haven't a chance in hell

Walking along this new shag pile
Suddenly he bumps into wood, the door is closed
