Little mouse
In my house,
I like you.

Little mouse
Skittering about,
I like you.

Little mouse
With whiskers stares,
As he sees me on the stairs.

Little mouse
Upon my hearth,
Why should I not for you have heart?

Little mouse
Pretend with me,
I share my crumbs of destiny.

Little mouse
Here we will live,
Together give what we can give.
