Tom T. Hall
The Rattle Mouse

[Verse 1]
Well, don't look now, but there goes a rattle mouse
How can I tell? How did he smell?
He doesn’t smell and you can't find him just by sniffing
But you'll hear him when he’s rattling around your kitchen

[Chorus 1]
Yep, that's a rattle mouse
Oh, that's a rattle mouse
I bet that's a rattle mouse

[Verse 2]
There it is again, yep, that's a rattle mouse
How did I know? Where did he go?
You can't see him when he travels he goes, "Zoom"
But you'll hear him when he's rattling around your room

[Chorus 2]
Yeah, that’s a rattle mouse
Oh, that’s a rattle mouse
Yep, that's a rattle mouse

[Verse 3]
Did you hear that? Well, that was a rattle mouse
How did I guess? How was he dressed?
He was wearing a little fur coat and a little fur face
And you’ll hear him when he's rattling around your place
