And The Mouse Police Never Sleeps lyrics

Muscled, black with steel green eye

Swishing through the rye grass

With thoughts of mouse and apple pie

Tail balancing at half-mast

And the mouse police never sleeps

Lying in the cherry tree

Savage bed foot warmer

Of purest feline ancestry

Look out, little furry folk

He's the all night working cat

Eats but one in every ten

Leaves the others on the mat

And the mouse police never sleeps

Waiting by the cellar door

Window-box town crier

Birth and death registrar

With claws that rake a furrow red

Licensed to mutilate

From warm milk on a lazy day

To dawn patrol on hungry hate

No, the mouse police never sleeps

Climbing on the ivy

Windy roof top weathercock

Warm blooded night on a cold tile

The mouse police never sleeps

The mouse police never sleeps

The mouse police never sleeps
