Johnny Dankworth & His Orchestra - Experiments With Mice lyrics

rate me

This is the saga of three blind mice

Who lived in a recording studio

They called the first one, Billy May

The second, they called Benny Goodman

And the third used to live in a mill

So they called him Miller

He was a romantic little mouse

They all ran off to the farmer's son

Who sent them stone deaf

With a tuneable drum

There were a couple of

Irish cats around too

One was named Mulligan

The other wasn't exactly Irish

But he was a sort of Finigan

Stan Kenton had never

Seen such a thing in his life

As three blind mice

So he wrote some music

For the occasion

Theme for a trio

Of sightless rodents

And frightened the mice away
