Squeak! Squeak!
Went the mouse
As it ran around the house
I'm gonna get that mouse
Maybe make some souse
*
Squeak! Squeak!
Went the chair
As it needs a repair
Not that I really care
Maybe I'll take it over there
*
Squeak! Squeak!
Went the hinge
As all I wanted was to binge
Now I'll have to stay on the fringe
Maybe it'll singe
*
Squeak! Squeak!
Went the weak
As I watched that week
Bombs dropped like a sheet
Rise did the price of wheat
It's all about the heat
