Friday 8 June 2012: A Little Mouse

Playing on the stairs this evening on the way up to bed put me in mind of this song.

I only ever knew the chorus ... but thanks to the power of Google, here's the whole thing.

Happy weekend people.

Ronnie Hilton "Windmill In Old Amsterdam"
- - - - -

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
Ronnie Hilton Windmill In Old Amsterdam Lyrics
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, and 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 christ'nin's when no one was list'nin'
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 lot of mice.
