lyrics

The rest of the house was sleeping when I heard a peculiar noise.
Sounded like someone speaking in a high-pitched voice.
So I put on my dressing gown and headed to the stairs
And as I quietly tip-toed down I realised I was scared.

Ba-da-ba, etc.

"What's that? Who's there? Come out!" I cried
And prayed that they had gone.
Then right about that time I spied the kitchen light was on.
I pushed the door and was relieved to find nobody there,
Then just as I had turned to leave, saw something on a chair.

A giant piece of cheese, wrapped up in a red bow,
With a note addressed to me, then...the next thing I know...

I woke inside a cage of sorts,
Three mice sat by my head.
My head was spinning, full of thoughts,
Then the largest rodent said:
"We've got our retribution! Oh yes, we've got our revenge!
The years of persecution have finally reached an end!
You've hunted us for far too long
Now it's time to turn the page!"
And then the mice broke into song
And danced around my cage, singing:

"We caught a man in a mantrap!
All mice should have one of these!
All that you need is a man that
Just can't resist some cheese!"
(like me)
