# Town Mouse, Country Mouse [Intro — Country Mouse] Come on in, cousin, wipe your feet Got corn in the cupboard and a place to sleep Ain't much shining underneath this roof But what I got is mine, and that's the truth [Verse 1 — Town Mouse] You call this dinner? Grain and peas? Man, you're living practically on your knees Come downtown, I'll show you how We got cream on the table and plenty right now Silver plates and candlelight More good eating than you can bite Why scratch around in a field all day When the finest things are a ride away? [Pre-Chorus — Country Mouse] Sounds mighty fine Sounds mighty sweet But something tells me That supper's got teeth [Chorus — Both] [Town Mouse] Come where the living is high and wide [Country Mouse] I'll take a little peace on the countryside [Town Mouse] Fine wine, good cheese, everything you please [Country Mouse] Yeah, but who's that coming? And why've we gotta flee? [Both] You can feast like a king You can live on crumbs But the good life's only good If you don't have to run [Verse 2 — Town Mouse] Look at this spread! Now tell me I'm wrong Cheddar stacked up half a table long Cake in the corner, ham by the wall Cousin, tonight we're gonna eat it all [Verse 2B — Country Mouse] I took one bite— [Shouted] DOG! Under the cabinet, don't make a sound Heart going ninety while he's sniffing around Back to the table, try it once more— [Shouted] CAT! Lord have mercy, what'd I come here for? [Chorus — Both] [Town Mouse] Come where the living is high and wide [Country Mouse] You forgot to mention the homicide [Town Mouse] Fine wine, good cheese, everything you please [Country Mouse] Hard to enjoy it when you're running for your life on your knees [Both] You can feast like a king You can live on crumbs But the good life's only good If you don't have to run [Bridge — Country Mouse] Keep your cake Keep your cream Keep your fancy dining dream Give me barley Give me peas Give me supper eaten peacefully No cat at the window No dog at the door No banquet's worth dying for [Break — Town Mouse] You're really going back? [Country Mouse] Cousin... I'm already gone. [Final Chorus — Both] [Town Mouse] I'll take the city, the glitter and glow [Country Mouse] I'll take the field where the cool wind blows [Town Mouse] I'll take plenty [Country Mouse] I'll take enough
