Lyrics:

Little country mouse
Goin’ to put her tools away again
Back out, behind the shed

Asked could we help her out
Got a husband, a boyfriend, and a kid
Needs to learn how to be less delicate
So we have him run, and run, and run, and run, and run, and run around a bit

And then we took her out
Oh yeah you best believe we did
But you won’t believe what we did
But she wanted it
She wanted it
Little Country Mouse

And later in the month
A little, secret date of our own commenced
Picked her up in nothing but her dress
Asking could she light my cigarette
And she did, and she did, and she did, and she did, she did

Then she burned off all my fingertips

Oh man how far we’d taken this
This country mouse was getting fed
Didn’t even see the ridge’s edge
Took me back to her backyard tool shed
This country mouse was getting fed
This country mouse was getting fed
