Run yourself mad

Scurry scurry scurry little mouse,

One thing to the next to the next to the next.

No time for quiet,

No time for rest,

No time to stop and see that

This whole fat rat race you put yourself through;

Is nothing more than your own little wheel

in a cage.

Run run run your race little mouse,

Run yourself to death

Going nowhere at all.
