Mouse in the House 

There’s a mouse in my house 

Mouse trails everywhere 

Wash, wash, everywhere he’s been 

All my towels and dish cloths 

Ohh what I’m thinking is a sin! 

I’m gonna get that mouse 

Mouse crap all over my house 

Everyday it’s clean and wash, 

Clean and wash 

I’m gonna get him, by gosh! 

Just you wait and see 

He thinks he’s got the best of me  

I just don’t know where he finds food to eat 

He chews my cookies and crackers 

Even got my leftover meat! 

Well, enough is enough 

I’ll sit and wait 

Like a mama cat mean and tough 

Uh oh, I smell that mouse 

I’ll be still and trap him in this house 

He’s running and making a trail 

I’ll get him this time 

Maybe I’ll catch him by his tail 

Headed to the bathroom 

Running fast with my broom 

I closed the door 

Round and round we go on the floor 

I hear a knock at the door 

Go away, I got this mouse on the floor 

He jumped in the tub 

We went round and round 

He ran so fast and didn’t make a sound 

He made a run over my toes 

Chills went up my spine and I froze 

He moved and we were at it again 

One hit and he went for a spin 

I knocked him out 

And threw him out the door 

I hope he doesn’t come back for more!
