Geraldine the cat spied them there
And said "Lord you've answered my prayer"
She sharpened her claws

Geraldine the cat spied them there
And said, "Lord, you've answered my prayer!"

Mice scurried home , warmed their toes
Got back in time, before they froze
Some crumbs by the fire
Fulfilled their desire
And curled up on the hearth to doze

Geraldine the cat spied them there

Mice scurried home , warmed their toes
Got back in time, before they froze
Some crumbs by the fire
Fulfilled their desire

Mice scurried home , warmed their toes
Got back in time, before they froze
Some crumbs by the fire

Mice scurried home , warmed their toes
Got back in time, before they froze

Fellow who loved to skate
Who decided he would like to create
Then fell through the ice
Watched by three mice
Who left him to refrigerate

Mice scurried home , warmed their toes

Who decided he would like to create

So I'm stuck here with the snow
It's cold and the north wind doth blow
Warming hands by fire
While outside it's dire
Outdoors I'm not planning to go

A fellow who loved to ice skate

So I'm stuck here with the snow
It's cold and the north wind doth blow
Warming hands by fire
While outside it's dire

So I'm stuck here with the snow
It's cold and the north wind doth blow
Warming hands by fire

So I'm stuck up here with the snow
It's cold and the north wind doth blow

There once was a bird who flew south
A child watched with wide open mouth
I want to go too
Fly into the blue
But down south they're predicting a drouth

So I'm stuck up here with the snow

There once was a bird who flew south
A child watched with wide open mouth
I want to go too
Fly into the blue

There once was a bird who flew south
A child watched with wide open mouth
I want to go too

There once was a bird who flew south
A child watched with wide open mouth

For hibernation I was built
Tucked up 'neath a cosy warm quilt
But then it was spring
And I started to sing
My quilt I did happily jilt

The once was a bird who flew south

For hibernation I was built
Tucked up ‘neath a cosy warm quilt
But then it was Spring
And I started to sing

For hibernation I was built
Tucked up ‘neath a cosy warm quilt
But then it was Spring

For hibernation I was built
Tucked up ‘neath a cosy warm quilt

It's time now to do some house cleaning
My children think it's demeaning
Don't look in their room
Or do take a broom
The leftovers you’ll be gleaning

For hibernation I was built

It's time now to do some house cleaning
My children think it's demeaning
Don't look in their room
Or do take a broom

It's time now to do some house cleaning
My children think it's demeaning
Don't look in their room
