¶Lyrics / Text

He was a rat, and she was a rat, And down in one hole they did dwell. And both were as black as a witch's hat, And they loved one another well. He had a tail, and she had a tail; Both long and curling and fine. And each said, "Yours is the finest tail In the world, excepting mine!" He smelt the cheese, and she smelt the cheese, And they both pronounced it good; And each resolved it would greatly add To the charms of their daily food. So he ventured out and she ventured out; And I saw them go with pain. But what befell them I never can tell, For they never came back again.
