 (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
