....And The Mouse Police Never Sleeps Lyrics

Muscled, black with steel-green eye
Swishing through the rye grass
with thoughts of mouse-and-apple pie
Tail balancing at half-mast.
....And the Mouse Police Never Sleeps
lying in the cherry tree.
Savage bed foot-warmer
of purest feline ancestry.
Look out, little furry folk!
He's the all-night working cat
Eats but one in every ten
leaves the others on the mat.

....And The Mouse Police Never Sleeps
waiting by the cellar door.
Window-boxtown-crier;
birth and death registrar.
With claws that rake a furrow red
Licensed to multilate.
From warm milk on a lazy day
to dawn patrol on hungry hate
....No, The Mouse Police Never Sleeps
climbing on the ivy.
Windy roof-top weathercock
Warm-blooded night on a cold tile.
