The Woman Who Was Also A Mongoose |
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 |
