[Intro] (whistling melody, handclaps, jangly guitar) Come along, come along, Hear that little tune! Come along, come along, Dancing to the moon! [Verse 1] There was a town where the rats ran wild Through every kitchen, street and aisle The people cried, “What can we do?” Then a stranger came in wearing silver shoes He had a coat of crimson red And a funny little hat on his head He smiled and said, “I'll clear the town” Then he raised his little pipe and played one sound [Pre-Chorus] Toot-toot, hear it call One by one, they leave it all Toot-toot, down the street Everybody's moving to the beat [Chorus] Follow me, follow me Down the road tonight Follow me, follow me Everything's alright Left, right, step in time Hear that little silver chime Follow me, follow me Follow, follow, follow! [Verse 2] Every little rat came running along Dancing to the Piper's song Through the market, past the square Not a single rat was anywhere The people cheered, “Our town is free!” But the Piper said, “Now pay my fee.” The mayor frowned and shook his head “Sorry, friend, we won't pay a thread.” [Pre-Chorus] Toot-toot, hear it call Something's coming down the hall Toot-toot, here they come Everybody better run! [Chorus] Follow me, follow me Down the road tonight Follow me, follow me Everything's alright Left, right, step in time Hear that little silver chime Follow me, follow me Follow, follow, follow! [Bridge] (music suddenly drops) Then the Piper played a different tune... (single flute melody) And every child came out of the room. [Instrumental Break] (wild guitar, flute melody, handclaps) [Final Chorus] Follow me, follow me Through the town we go! Follow me, follow me Fast or very slow! Left, right, step in time Everybody cross the line Follow me, follow me... [Outro] (children's voices / group vocals) Follow... Follow... Follow... (flute plays final three notes) Toot... toot... toot... [Final drum hit]
