Do you think
Said Mr Mouse
That we should buy
A bigger house?
Well my dear
Said Mrs Mouse
The problem is
I like this house
With baby mice
I know it’s full
And there’s no space
Not much at all
But it is cosy
Nice and warm
And keeps us dry
When there’s a storm
And one day when
The babies grow
They’ll choose to move
Away, you know
And this house of
Our family
Will keep us with
Their memory
And when we’re old
We’ll think it’s nice
Remembering
Our baby mice
So now you see
Dear Mr Mouse
Why we should stay
In this dear house
