LOVING COUPLE:
I can't see you but I know you're there.
Got to get beside you cos it's really cold out here.
Come up close to me you'll soon be warm,
Hold me tightly like we're sheltering from a storm.
MOUSE:
Think I might go out for a stroll
Into the night, and out of this hole.
Maybe find me a meal.
Walking along this new shag pile
Presents a problem all the while.
Nearly the door.
Suddenly he bumps into wood, the door is closed.
A voice from the bed, he'll be exposed.
Which way to run, must make for the hole.
But the light's been turned on, now he's blind as a mole in coal.
Now I can see they're coming at me.
They've blocked off my door, I haven't a chance in hell.
COUPLE:
Come on baby let the poor thing go.
I'm not sleeping with that thing around here, no.
Alright then, I'll fetch a box from below,
Guard him carefully; they're very quick you know
MOUSE:
The door's been opened, my chance to escape.
Must run out quick, better sorry than late,
I'm out on the stairs.
They won't catch me now; I've the run of the house now
I'll make it downstairs and into the breadbin
That would be nice.
Suddenly he bumps into fur, that's very unwise,
A cat is much quicker than men and their eyes.
The chase that ensues can have only one end.
Unless outside help steps in for a friend in need.
But now the cat comes in for the kill,
His paw is raised soon blood will spill, yes it will.
CAT:
Hard luck mouse, this is the end of your road.
The signpost says inside me let me bear your heavy load.
But it's not to be, that final pounce
Knocks a jar upon his head, and lays him out.
But it's all in a mouse's night
To take on all those who would fight.
CAT'S STORY:
There I was with my back to the wall,
Then comes this monster mouse, he's ten feet tall.
With teeth and claws to match.
It only took one blow.
