A mouse in a mill (in old Amsterdam)  (Rudi Carrel) English lyrics: D. van Altena

Terug

There once was a mouse back in old Amsterdam Who lived in a mill where he tiptoed and trampled While merrily singing How happy I am, A mouse in a mill here in old Amsterdam      I saw a mouse (Where?)      Up on the stairs (Where on the stairs?)      Well there, his wooden shoes are thumpin      To, fro and back      Hear the click-clickety-clack on the stairs      O yeah He grew a bit lonely alone in that mill But after a lady mouse whispered I will Soon they both started singing How happy I am, A mouse in a mill here in old Amsterdam      I saw a mouse The famly they raised there of sweet little mice Grew bigger with every roll of the dice While the choir swelled singing How happy I am, A mouse in a mill here in old Amsterdam      I saw a mouse The millers wife screamed and jumped out of her bed Then she and her husband just packed up and fled For the mice who were singing How happy I am, A mouse in a mill here in old Amsterdam      I saw a mouse The mouse owns the mill now with his next of kin Cause nobody dares to go back in again
