Smile your little smile - take some tea with me awhile.
 [bad word] away that black cloud from your shoulder.
Twitch your whiskers. Feel that you're really real.
Another tea-time - another day older.

Puff warm breath on your tiny hands. You wish you were a man
Who every day can turn another page.
Behind your glass you sit and look at my ever-open book -
One brown mouse sitting in a cage.

Do you wonder if I really care for you -
I just [bad word] you keep -
Which one of us exercises on the old treadmill -
Who hides his head, pretending to sleep?

Smile your little smile - take some tea with me awhile.
 [bad word] away that black cloud from your shoulder.
Twitch your whiskers. Feel that you're really real.
Another tea-time - another day older.

Smile your little smile - take some tea with me awhile.
And every day we'll turn another page.
Behind our glass we'll sit and look at our ever-open book -
One brown mouse sitting in a cage.
