hardy & massengill/the folk brothers - ode to a mouse lyrics

Loading...

[refrain]
mouse, mouse

[verse 1]
i buried a mouse
that drowned in a commode
though we weren’t acquainted
i wrote it this ode
what we had in common
a man and a mouse
well, for one thing we were
both guests of the house

[refrain]
mouse, mouse

[verse 2]
my friend was away
but left his door unlocked
though by force of habit
politely i knocked
then i went inside
to make use of the house
and discovered alas
a poor drowned mouse
[refrain]
mouse, mouse

[verse 3]
i picked up the mouse
by its wee tiny tale
its wee hands and feet
were piteously frail
that i mourn a stranger
you may find it odd
just as others may doubt
a beneficent god

[refrain]
mouse, mouse

[verse 4]
i fashioned a cross
out of cornstalk and twine
right there in the garden
i built a small shrine
though my choice of coffin
was unorthodox
as i tucked the mouse in
a cracker jack box
[refrain]
mouse, mouse

[verse 5]
i hope when i die
there will be someone there
who though they don’t know me
will tenderly care
the funeral procession
was me and some birds
though it may seem profane
i said a few words

[refrain]
i said, mouse, mouse

[verse 1]
i buried a mouse
that drowned in a commode
though we weren’t acquainted
i wrote it this ode
what we had in common
a man and a mouse
well, for one thing we were
both guests of the house
[refrain]
mouse, mouse
a mouse
