Bobby Darin - The Proper Gander lyrics

Your rating:

There was a white mouse consultation 

      Down at the county fair 

      All the church mice, field mice and not 

         so nice mice 

      Everybody gathered there 

      You see the muckidy muck he was 

         speakin', tellin' them where it was at 

      He said hear, hear there ain't nothin' to fear 

      Except a three eyed Siamese cat 

      And the crowd was stunned 

      See, no single mouse had ever seen one 

      He said don't be scared 

      We're prepared. 



      Then he held up a great big picture 

      So every mouse could see 

      What a three eyed Siamese cat looked like 

      The face of the enemy 

      And the crowd let out such a shudder 

      As they lined up file and rank 

      Starin' at a twenty foot picture frame 

      Surroundin' a twenty foot blank 

      Just empty space 

      But every single mouse 

      Swore he saw a face 

      He said don't be scared 

      We're prepared 



      Then the muckidy much started screamin' 

      Yellin' till his voice gave out 

      He said now that you've seen what the 

         cat looks like 

      Gonna tell you what he's all about 

      He said he don't eat cheese on Friday 

      And he goes around lickin' his paws 

      He's awful mean and he loves to keep clean 

      And believes in changin' laws 

      And the crowd went wild 

      And every mouse began to fear for his child 

      Don't scared 

      We're prepared. 



      Now two times two is forty-five 

      The muckidy muck explained 

      And the flat side of the moon is green 

      And the farmer don't need no rain 

      And the night is light and might is right 

      And Supermouse is on our side 

      And the three eyed Siamese cat's a plague 

      From which nobody can hide 

      And the mice all cringed 

      The whiskers of that cat would soon 

         be singed 

      Don't be scared 

      We're prepared. 



      Then the muckidy muck started singin' 

      Through his great paternal grin 

      And the church mice, field mice 

      All the patriotic mice 

      Everybody chimed right in 

      They sang this land is mice land 

      Mice country tis of thee 

      Well my father took it from the beaver rat 

      Nobody's gonna take it from me 

      And the mice all cheered 

      The sound that they were makin' sure 

         was weird 

      Dont' be scared 

      We're prepared. 



      Then the muckidy muck said line up here 

      Everybody give a buck 

      To fight the three eyed Siamese cat 

         takes money 

      And a little bit of luck 

      We've got a million of our best young mice 

      To go out and volunteer 

      To give up what they're livin' for 

      To make the cat disappear 

      Let's give 'em a hand 

      Yay 

      We don't want that cat invadin' our land 

      No way 

      We're not scared 

      We're prepared. 



      Then a mighty strange thing happened 

      Guess you could call it fate 

      You see, a gust of wind blew the picture 

         frame down 

      And it landed on the muckidy muck's head 

      And the mice they all went crazy 

      For the first time they saw the lie 

      It was all a hoax on just simple folks 

      And the muckidy muck must die 

      And die he did 

      The members of his staff they just fled 

      They were scared 

      Hah 

      Just not prepared.
