Lyrics:

Smile your little smile — take some tea with me awhile

Brush away that black cloud from your shoulder

Twitch your whiskers. Feel that you’re really real

Another tea-time — another day older

Puff warm breath on your tiny hands

You wish you were a man who every day can turn another page

Behind your glass you sit and look at my ever-open book —

One brown mouse sitting in a cage

Do you wonder if I really care for you —

Am I just the company you keep —

Which one of us exercises on the old treadmill —

Who hides his head, pretending to sleep?

Smile your little smile — take some tea with me awhile

And every day we’ll turn another page

Behind our glass we’ll sit and look at our ever-open book —

One brown mouse sitting in a cage
