Window

There’s a window by the sink in the kitchen

The blind is always closed

What is there that’s being shut out?

Who knows? Who knows? Who knows?

I went over to the window

And peeked behind the blind

Out of curiosity

To see what I could find

And what do I see out the window?

Three blind mice

Running after the butcher’s wife

It doesn’t seem so nice

And what does the butcher’s

Wife do?

She cuts off their tails

To put in her stew

Yum. Yum. Yum.

Yum. Yum. Yum.

Their tails taste much better

Than bubble gum

I climb out of the window

To see what I can see

I see a tall, tall castle

With steps to climb—that’s for me

I climb up the steps

And look inside with a sigh

Inside waiting for me

Is this gorgeous guy

I go inside and see

Cereal in bowls of three

And the adventures never stop

I’m hearing “snap, crackle and pop”

The gorgeous guy takes me in his arms

And carries me down the steps so well

And all the way to the farmer

The farmer in the dell

The farmer takes a wife

A wife to his home

The mouse takes the cheese

But the cheese stands alone

My oh my oh my

My oh my oh my

And I’ll continue staying

In the arms of the gorgeous guy
