Lyrics

There's a house at the top of a tree There's a house at the top of a tree In the house there's a room In the room there's a chair And sitting in the chair is you There's a nose at the end of a snout Of a dog with his head out the window Of a car that's driving away from the tree And at the top of a tree there's a house And in the house there's a room and in the room There's a chair and in the chair is you There's a plan to eat the house In the mind of a mouse in the woods And the mouse in the woods has a smell that's detected By the nose at the end of a snout of a dog And the dog has his head out the window of a car And the car is driving away from the tree And at the top of a tree there's a house And in the house there's a room and in the room There's a chair and in the chair is you There are no more potato chips left In the empty bag in your hand And the crumpling sound of the empty bag Makes the mice get mad And when the mice get mad It leads to a plan to eat the house And the plan's in the mind of the mouse in the woods And the mouse in the woods has a smell that's detected By the nose at the end of a snout of a dog And the dog has his head out the window of a car And the car is driving away from the tree And at the top of a tree there's a house And in the house there's a room and in the room There's a chair and in the chair is you And the reason there are no more chips In the empty bag in your hand Is that the crumpling sound of the empty bag Makes the mice get mad Which leads to a plan To eat the house But just in time The dog arrives To give to the mouse The potato chips That you took from the bag And gave to the dog To deliver to the mouse So the mouse would not eat you
