Living In A Pet Shop

Roger Brown

I got up today and I took a look around,
I was living in a pet shop.
Living this life is really getting me down,
Living in a pet shop.
All of this noise and all of this clatter,
All day long we just chat, chat, chatter.
Oh, what a life, will it ever stop?
Living in a pet shop.
Aum -
I've been here, it's all I ever have known,
Living in a pet shop.
All I ever wanted was a home of my own
But i'm living in a pet shop.
You might say we're a little overcrowded, (meow-)
Chock-a-bloc bunnies, there's no doubt about it.
Oh, what a life, will it ever stop?
Living in a pet shop.
Come on, people, won't somebody try me?
I'm a nice fellow, won't somebody buy me?
Aum -
Aum - (animal scat sing)
I got up today and I took a look around,
I was living in a pet shop.
Living this life is really getting me down,
Living in a pet shop.
(meow -)
If I stay here my heart is gonna break me, (meow -)
If you're going my way, won't you, please, take me?
Oh, what a life, will it ever stop?
Living in a pet shop,
Living in a pet shop.
(Oh, what a life will it ever stop - aum-meow-)

Scouse's Dream

Roger Brown

I sit and watch while others sing and dance,
But I know some day I will have my chance.
I'm down today, it's true,
My chances have been few,
But I'm not discouraged 'cause I know what I can do.

I may be a tiny mouse and in a cage,
But I know I belong upon the stage.
And some day I will be
A personality
And then the one I'm watching on the TV will be me.

Now people tend to treat a mouse
With simple conversations,
But I am like no mouse you've ever seen.
So if you think of me that way,
Then maybe I should mention,
I'm scouse the mouse and I have got a dream.

Ooh!

So look out, world, 'cause here I come,
If you want someone special, I'm the one.
Although I may be small,
It doesn't bother me at all,
'Cause I know in my heart that some day I'll be ten feet tall.

Running Free

Roger Brown

I don't know how long I'll last,
But I've gotta get movin' and movin' fast.
I gotta break through to the other side,
I've got to run, I've got to fly.

Free, free, running free,
That's the way I was meant to be.
Free, free, running free,
Freedom looks pretty good to me.

Now i'm in a hurry and I can't stand still,
If I don't go now, you know, I never will.
I wanna be foot loose and free to roam,
I wanna call the whole wide world my home.

Free, free, running free,
That's the way I was meant to be.
Free, free, running free,
Freedom looks pretty good to me.

Living in a cage never really was my style.
Now I've got the chance, I'm a-runnin' every mile.

(Meow - meow - meow - meow - meow)
(Meow - meow - meow - meow)

I've got a plan, I've been waiting for the day
When I can get the chance to make my get away.
All I ever needed was an open door,
And now I'm gonna be away and that's for sure.

Free, free, running free,
That's the way I was meant to be.
Free, free, running free,
Freedom looks pretty good to me.

Boat Ride

Roger Brown

There is nothing like a boat ride,
There is nothing like a boat ride,
There is nothing like a float on a boat ride.

"Ha! ha! ha! ha! this is preposterous! where's my flute?"

Wind is blowing on the water so blue,
The seagulls are calling and the sun shines through.
There is nothing I would rather do
Than to go on a boat ride.

I want to sail away to far away lands
Where the sun shines down on golden sands.
Oh my, but isn't it grand to go on a boat ride?

There is nothing like a boat ride,
There is nothing like a boat ride,
There is nothing like a float on a boat ride.

Oh, I hope for a life on the ocean waves,
Even if I have to stole away.
I know what I will do today,
I will go on a boat ride. (toot! toot!)

There is nothing like a boat ride,
(Nothing like a boat ride)

There is nothing like a boat ride,
(Nothing like a boat ride)

There is nothing like a float on a boat ride.

Scouse The Mouse

Roger Brown

Oh, thank you, ev'rybody, we're glad you've made the show,

"Good evening.
We've got someone that we think you ought to know.
He's the greatest sensation from coast to coast,
For your direction, here's the mouse with the most.

It's Scouse, the mouse,
No ordinary, he's an extraordinary mouse.
It's Scouse, the mouse,
Bet you never seen a mouse like Scouse in your house."

Hello, ev'rybody, have a listen to my song,
If it's not too short, I hope it's not too long.
I feel real cute in my brand new suite,
But I'd feel even better if you sang along.

'Cause I'm Scouse, (that's Scouse!)
The mouse, (he's the greatest!)
No ordinary, I'm an extra ordinary mouse. (yeah!)
And I'm Scouse, (that's Scouse!)
The mouse, (what a mouse!)
I'll bet you've never seen a mouse like Scouse in your house.

Now I had a home in Liverpool,
But one day I knew what I had to do;
I escaped from my cage to be a star on the stage,
Now I'm happy as can be to sing my song for you.

'Cause I'm Scouse, (that's Scouse!)
The mouse, (he's terrific!)
No ordinary, I'm an extraordinary mouse. (yeah!)
And I'm Scouse, (that's Scouse!)
The mouse, (check that mouse!)
Did you ever see a mouse like Scouse in your house?
(Scouse, the mouse) now, take it, boys! (oo-oo-oo-ah)
(Scouse, the mouse, oo-oo-oo)

So here's a little something that's sure to please,
If you're feeling sad and blue, well, I'm the mouse to see.
If you wanna have fun, it's easily done,
Just open your mouth and sing my song with me.

'Cause I'm scouse, the mouse,
No ordinary, I'm an extra ordinary mouse.
And I'm Scouse, the mouse,
Did you ever see a mouse like Scouse in your house?

Well, I'm Scouse, (that's scouse!)
The mouse, (the one and only!)
No ordinary, I'm an extraordinary mouse. (yeah!)
And I'm Scouse, (that's Scouse!)
The mouse, (the mouse!)
I'll bet you've never seen a mouse like Scouse in your house. (yeah!)
Yeah!

I Know A Place

Roger Brown, Ruan O'Lochlainn and Donald Pleasence

I know a place that's wild but safe,
Where oak trees grow with pine.
Where the Big Bad Wolf meets Red Riding Hood
And they laugh and get along just fine.

And when I think of you and think of me,
I wonder who's you a which is me.
When the clock strikes twelve,
Will it be safe for me?

I know a place in the us of a,
Where the Statue of Liberty stands tall.
Where a fat pussy cat and a little white mouse
Waltz happy at a ball.

And when I think of you and think of me,
I wonder who's you a which is me.
Will the fat pussy cat eat this little white mouse for tea?

Don't eat me, let's be friends,
Don't eat me, let's be friends,
Don't eat me, let's be friends,
Don't eat me, let's be friends.

S.O.S.

Roger Brown

Night is fallen and the cold wind moans,
I have never felt so far from home,
I am cast away and left alone.

The stars above me seem so far away,
If there is morning, will I see the day?
Won't someone come and carry me away?

S.O.S., S.O.S.,
S.O.S., S.O.S.

A Mouse Like Me

Ruan O'Lochlainn

Now you can count on me,
I'll be there you see,
On the stage of the Carnegie Hall.
When the house lights go down,
That's when I'll come on,
'Cause I'm a mouse and I'm really quite small.

'Cause a mouse like me belongs to the world,
And the world is a great place to be.
And a mouse like me just sings for the world
That goes round and round for free.

You can count on me,
I'll be there you'll see,
I'll be there when you need a friend.
When you're feeling down,
That's when I'll be your clown,
And we'll sing our songs to the end.

'Cause a mouse like me belongs to the world,
And the world is a great place to be.
And a mouse like me just sings for the world
That goes round and round for free.

A mouse like me belongs to the world,
And the world is a great place to be.
And a mouse like me just sings for the world
That goes round and round for free.

A mouse like me belongs to the world,
And the world is a great place to be.
And a mouse like me just sings for the world
That goes round and round for free.

A mouse like me belongs to the world,
And the world is a great place to be.
And a mouse like me just sings for the world
That goes round and round for free.
