Three Small Mice     Three Small Mice     Three Small Mice     Pined for some fun     Pined for some fun     Pined for some fun     They made up their minds to set out to roam;     Said they, "'Tis dull to remain at home,"     And all the luggage they took was a comb,     These three Small Mice     Three Bold Mice     Three Bold Mice     Came to an Inn     Came to an Inn     Came to an Inn     "Good evening, Host, can you give us a bed?"     But the Host he grinned and he shook his head;     So they all slept out in a field instead,     These three Bold Mice.     Three Cold Mice     Three Cold Mice     Woke up next morn     Woke up next morn     Woke up next morn     They each had a cold and a swollen face,     Through sleeping all night in an open space;     So they rose quite early and left the place,     These three Cold Mice.     Three Hungry Mice     Three Hungry Mice     Searched for some food     Searched for some food     Searched for some food     But all they found was a walnut shell     That lay by the side of a dried-up well;     Who had eaten the nut they could not tell,     These three Hungry Mice.     Three Starved Mice     Three Starved Mice     Came to a Farm     Came to a Farm     Came to a Farm     The Farmer was eating some bread and cheese;     So they all went down on their hands and knees,     And squeaked, "Pray, give us a morsel, please,"     These three Starved Mice.     Three Glad Mice     Three Glad Mice     Ate all they could     Ate all they could     Ate all they could     They felt so happy they danced with glee;     But the Farmer's Wife came in to see     What might this merry-making be     Of three Glad Mice.     Three Poor Mice     Three Poor Mice     Soon changed their tone     Soon changed their tone     Soon changed their tone     The Farmer's Wife said, "What are you at,     And why were you capering round like that?     Just wait a minute: I'll fetch the Cat"     Oh dear! Poor Mice.     Three Scared Mice     Three Scared Mice     Ran for their lives     Ran for their lives     Ran for their lives     They jumped out on to the window ledge;     The mention of "Cat" set their teeth on edge;     So they hid themselves in the bramble hedge,     These three Scared Mice.     Three Sad Mice     Three Sad Mice     What could they do?     What could they do?     What could they do?     The bramble hedge was most unkind:     It scratched their eyes and made them blind,     And soon each Mouse went out of his mind,     These three Sad Mice.     Three Blind Mice     Three Blind Mice     See how they run     See how they run     See how they run     They all ran after the Farmer's Wife,     Who cut off their tails with the carving knife.     Did you ever see such a sight in your life     As three Blind Mice?     Three Sick Mice     Three Sick Mice     Gave way to tears     Gave way to tears     Gave way to tears     They could not see and they had no end;     They sought a Chemist and found a Friend     He gave them some "Never too late to mend,"     These Three Sick Mice.     Three Wise Mice     Three Wise Mice     Rubbed rubbed away     Rubbed rubbed away     Rubbed rubbed away     And soon their tails began to grow,     And their eyes recovered their sight, you know;     They looked in the glass and it told them so.     These three Wise Mice.     Three Proud Mice     Three Proud Mice     Soon settled down     Soon settled down     Soon settled down     The name of their house I cannot tell,     But they've learnt a trade and are doing well.     If you call upon them, ring the bell     Three times twice.     Erratum     And all the luggage they took was a comb,     These three Small Mice
