| Tune: Three Blind Mice | |
| Lyrics: | Roadkill stew Roadkill stew Tastes so good Just like it should First you go down to the Interstate You wait for the critter to meet its fate You take it home and make it great Roadkill stew Roadkill stew Three blind mice are dead Three blind mice are dead See how they lie See how they lie Cold grey bodies on the slab Cold grey bodies on the slab Poor dead mice Poor dead mice Egg fried rice Egg fried rice King prawn foo yung King prawn foo yung Beef with pepper and black bean sauce Battered round meat things (I hope it's not horse) Did I remembember to order, of course The egg fried rice Egg fried rice Egg fried rice Crispy won ton Crispy won ton Half an aromatic crispy duck Served with pancakes and hoi sin muck (I don't think it'd dead 'cause I just heard a 'cluck') And egg fried rice Egg fried rice Egg fried rice Spring onion Spring onion Szechuan chicken washed down with Champagne Deep fried seaweed and chicken chow mein Eat it all once, and then eat it again With egg fried rice Three small rodents with optical deficiencies, Three small rodents with optical deficiencies, Observe how they perambulate, Observe how they perambulate! They all hastened after the agriculturist's spouse. She severed their posterior appendages with a chef's chopping implement. Have ever you audited such an account in your existence As three small rodents with optical deficiencies? Three small mice, three small mice, They pined for some fun, they pined for some fun. They made up their minds to set out to roam, Said they, 'Too dull to remain at home' And all the luggage they took was a comb, Three small mice, three small mice. Three bold mice, three bold mice, They came to an inn, they came to an inn. Good evening good host can you give us a bed ? The host he grinned and shook his head So they all slept out in a field instead, Three bold mice, three bold mice. Three cold mice, three cold mice, They woke up next morn, they woke up next morn. They each had a cold and a swollen face From sleeping all night in an open space; They rose quite early and left the place. Three cold mice, three cold mice. Three hungry mice, three hungry mice, They searched for some food, they searched for some food. But all they found was a walnut shell That lay by the side of a dried-up well; Who had eaten the nut they could not tell, Three hungry mice, three hungry mice. Three starved mice, three starved mice, They came to a farm, they came to a farm. The farmer was eating some bread and cheese, So they all went down on their hands and knees, Said 'Oh give us a morsel please'. Three starved mice, three starved mice. Three glad mice, three glad mice, They ate all they could, they ate all they could. They felt so happy they danced with glee But the farmer's wife came out to see What might their merrymaking be. Three glad mice, three glad mice. Three poor mice, three poor mice, They soon changed their tune, they soon changed their tune. The farmer's wife said what are you at, And why are you dancing around like that ? Just wait a minute I'll fetch the cat. Three poor mice, three poor mice. Three scared mice, three scared mice, They ran for their lives, they ran for their lives. They jumped out on the window ledge, The mention of cats put their teeth on edge So they hid themselves in a bramble hedge. Three scared mice, three scared mice. Three sad mice, three sad mice, What could they do, what could they do ? The bramble hedge was most unkind, It scratched their eyes and made them blind And soon each mouse went out of his mind. Three sad mice, three sad mice. Three blind mice, three blind mice, See how they run, see how they run. They all ran after the farmer's wife Who cut off their tails with a carving knife, Did you ever see such a sight in your life As three blind mice, three blind mice. Three sick mice, three sick mice. They gave way to tears, they gave way to tears. They could not see and they had no end So they went to the doctor and found a friend Who gave them some Never-Too-Late-To-Mend. Three sick mice, three sick mice. Three wise mice, three wise mice, Rubbed rubbed away, rubbed rubbed away. And soon their tails began to grow And their eyes recovered their sight, you know. They looked in the mirror, it told them so. Three wise ice, three wise mice. Three proud mice, three proud mice, They soon settled down, they soon settled down. The name of their house I cannot tell, But they've learned a trade and they're doing well. If you pay them a visit, just ring the bell, Three times twice, three times twice. |
