Lyrics for I Saw A Mouse
A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with a mouse in, and he wasn’t grousin’
He sang every morning “How lucky I am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam”.
(Chorus)
I saw a mouse — where? There on the stair
Where on the stair? Right there
A little mouse with clogs on — well, I declare
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair – oh yeah
This mouse, he got lonesome, he took him a wife
A windmill with mice in, it’s hardly surprisin’
She sang every morning “How lucky I am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam”
(Chorus)
First they had triplets and then they had quins
A windmill with quins in, triplets and twins in
They sang every morning “How lucky we are
Living in a windmill in Amsterdam — ya”
(Chorus)
The daughters got married and so did the sons
The windmill had christenings when no one was listening
They all sang in chorus “How lucky we am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam”
(Chorus)
A mouse lived in a windmill, so snug and so nice
There’s nobody there now but a whole load of mice
