there’s things that only a mouse knows
the migratory patterns of cats
the migratory patterns of cats
there’s things that a mouse knows
better than anybody else
and that is that

there’s things that only a mouse knows
certain qualities of cheese
certain qualities of cheese
there’s things that a mouse knows
better than anybody else, sir
if you please

there’s things that only a mouse knows
mixing a sloe gin fizz
mixing a sloe gin fizz
there’s things that a mouse knows
better than anybody else
that’s how it is

there’s things that only a mouse knows
steering a motor boat
steering a motor boat
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

there’s things that only a mouse knows
riding a kangaroo
riding a kangaroo
there’s things that a mouse knows
better than anybody else
how do you do

there’s things that only a mouse knows
tumbling down a hill
tumbling down a hill
there’s things that a mouse knows
better than anybody else
and always will

there’s things that only a mouse knows
finding the crumbs at night
finding the crumbs at night
there’s things that a mouse knows
better than anybody else
what’s right is right

there’s things that only a mouse knows
singing you to sleep
singing you to sleep
shhhhhhhhhhh

there’s things that only a mouse knows
where a mouse belongs
where a mouse belongs
there’s things that a mouse knows
better than anybody else
that’s the end of this song.

Whistle
