Sit up in your beds and hark! Something said "meow" in the dark! Was it a gentleman saying some prayers? Was it a mousie trapped under the stairs? Was it a manager stealing some shares Or a newspaper having a lark? Sit up in your beds and hark! Something said "meow" in the dark! Would you your treasures securely keep, Never turn lamps out and never go sleep. WHISPER! Hush, you! Hush! I think I hear Just a little noise of humming! If you see him waiting near Please don't whisper him we're coming! |
