Think I might go out for a stroll

Walking along this new shag pile

Nearly the door

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 our friend in need

But now the cat comes in for the kill

His paw is raised, soon blood will spill, yes it will
[Verse]

Hard luck mouse, this is the end of your road
C# B6/C#
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

Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah

To take on all those who'd fight

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
