Once upon a time, in the realm of rhyme On a little patch of land Lived a mouse, in a tiny house Who was always feeling grand See the furry guy, didn't have to try Too hard to get his kicks He could find the fault in any vault And have his mousey pick He set his eyes upon a prize His biggest one to date To rob the king, take everything Then make a grand escape He called his pal, and asked his gal If they'd help his little caper They said no, they wouldn't go And he'd end up in the paper They said the treasure did not measure Up to all the tales The king was done he had no money Our kingdom's gonna fail He got a sack, and didn't lack The courage to pull through Time will tell if he'll do well Without the rest of his crew He snuck right in and then began Zig-zaggin' past the knights Meeting eyes would be his demise Had to avoid all fights Got to the place and had to face The toughest trial by far A massive lock, built like a clock Slapped on the cookie jar Climbing in he found the pins And moved'em left and right Making all the tumblers fall Much to his delight When the door finally tore Wide open he did see An empty room, with only gloom Quite unexpectedly He had a laugh and bent in half How was it he had missed You can't behold the kingdom's gold When it doesn't exist His friends were right he knew they might Have been telling the truth He had to go and skeedaddle While he still had his youth Back out into the night and through The darkness did he creep Right into to bed, to rest his head So soundly did he sleep So if you're persona's the type who's gonna Take what isn't yours Trust when friends say there's no payday Before you try locked doors Trust when friends say there's no payday Before you try locked doors!
