Dead Milkmen

Dead Milkmen - The Woman Who Was Also A Mongoose lyrics

rate me

She was once an attraction at the county fair

And now she sleeps in a box at the top of the stairs

And she loves it here, make no mistake

Cause she can earn her keep by chasin' snakes

And if I wake up late at night

I know that everything will be alright

Cause crawling round on my roof

Is the woman who is also a mongoose

She was born in May, nineteen years ago

In a little town outside Buffalo

But the town folk feared her and they chased her away

And now she's happy with a place to stay

And if I wake up late at night

I know that everything will be alright

Cause crawling round on my roof

Is the woman who is also a mongoose

She trapped a rattler out behind the barn

And she let it go without any harm

Then she came inside for a cup of tea

And she spoke for a while with my brother and me

Chasing after field mice, running through the high grass

That's what she loves to do

And if she's happy as a mongoose

It shouldn't bother me or you

And if I wake up late at night

I know that everything will be alright

Cause crawling round on my roof

Is the woman who is also a mongoose
