Verse 1
A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn't grousin'
He sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"
Chorus
I saw a mouse!
Where?
There on the stair!
Where on the stair?
Right there!
A little mouse with clogs on
Well I declare!
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair
Oh yeah
Verse 2
This mouse he got lonesome, he took him a wife
A windmill with mice in, it's hardly surprisin'
She sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"
REPEAT CHORUS
KEY CHANGE -
Verse 3
First they had triplets and then they had quins
A windmill with quins in, and triplets and twins in
They sang every morning, "How lucky we are
Living in a windmill in Amsterdam, ya!"
(now because of the key change, the next chorus uses the following chords)
Chorus
I saw a mouse!

Oh yeah

The windmill had christ'nin's when no one was list'nin'

Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

A mouse lived in a windmill, so snug and so nice
There's nobody there now but a whole lot of mice.
(to which the mice sing)
Oh yeah!!!
