Lyrics:
Shh! Quiet everybody there's a genius at work
And he must not be disturbed
He looks like he's asleep
But he's thinking very deep
And he must not be disturbed
Oh, he must not be disturbed
Round and round go the wheels in his mind
Up and down like a carnival ride
Clickety clack like a train down the track
Fast fast fast faster
Fast fast fast faster
Faster faster fastest
At last at last
That's it!
Billy said as he jumped out of bed
That's the best idea that was ever in my head
I will build a little house to attract a little mouse
And the world will beat a path to my door
Chorus:
Billy Billy Billy
Can you build a better mouse house
Billy Billy Billy
Can you build a better house
Billy Billy can you build a mouse house
Boards 'n' nails 'n' glass 'n' glue
Billy took a step back
Yep, I think that oughta do
I know no mouse can resist this house
And the world will beat a path to my door
Yes the world will beat a path to my door
Chorus
Billy rubbed his hands and did a little dance
And placed his house in the middle of the room
Unless I miss my guess, he said
This house will be blessed, he said
With a special guest, he said
Very very very very soon
Very very very very soon
Billy woke up bright and early next day
He ran to his house but to his dismay
There was no trace of a furry little friend
The little mouse bed had not been slept in
You should have tried cheese! Sister Sally snapped
No way! Billy cried, This is not a mousetrap
You know that that's not where it's at
We will have none of that
This house is not a trap
For my mouse house is a house of peace
Where a little mouse may live at his ease
With three square meals for him to eat
And a little bed to sleep
And a little bed to sleep
Now let me see...
Shh! Quiet everybody there's a genius at work
And he must not be disturbed
He looks like he's asleep
But he's thinking very deep
And he must not be disturbed
Oh, he must not be disturbed
Round and round go the wheels in his mind
Up and down like a carnival ride
Clickety clack like a train down the track
Fast fast fast faster
Fast fast fast faster
Faster faster fastest
At last at last
That's it! Billy shrieked as he jumped to his feet
I will put little signs up and down our street
So every little mouse will know about my house
And the world will beat a path to my door
Chorus
Oh Billy, Sally said sadly shaking her head
You know that mice can't read
I'm telling you true, here's what I would do
Give 'em cheese-it's cheese they need
Oh, Sally, Billy said with his hand on her head
You just don't understand
It's the thought that counts and that's all that counts
In the world of mouse and man
In the world of mouse and man
Chorus
Sally helped Billy making tiny little signs
She tried hard not to tease
'Cause he made her feel great when she saw him paint
P.S. There will be cheese
My sister will serve cheese
Hip hip hooray! Billy yelled next day
Sally! Hurry hurry hurry come look!
Sitting in the house was the cutest little mouse
Eating cheese and reading a book!
It's true!
Eating cheese and reading a book!
Yahoo!
Billy Billy Billy really built a better mouse house
Billy Billy Billy really built a better house
Billy really built a better mouse house
Billy Billy Billy really built a better mouse house
He built a better house with a little bit of help
Billy really built a better mouse house
