《The Woman Who Was Also A Mongoose》歌词

[00:00:00] The Woman Who Was Also A Mongoose - The Dead Milkmen

[00:00:19] She was once an attraction at the county fair

[00:00:25] And now she sleeps in a box at the top of the stairs

[00:00:32] And she loves it here make no mistake

[00:00:38] Cause she can earn her keep by chasin' snakes

[00:00:45] And if I wake up late at night

[00:00:48] I know that everything will be alright

[00:00:52] Cause crawling round on my roof

[00:00:55] Is the woman who is also a mongoose

[00:01:18] She was born in May nineteen years ago

[00:01:24] In a little town outside Buffalo

[00:01:30] But the town folk feared her and they chased her away

[00:01:37] And now she's happy with a place to stay

[00:01:43] And if I wake up late at night

[00:01:46] I know that everything will be alright

[00:01:50] Cause crawling round on my roof

[00:01:53] Is the woman who is also a mongoose

[00:02:16] She trapped a rattler out behind the barn

[00:02:22] And she let it go without any harm

[00:02:29] Then she came inside for a cup of tea

[00:02:35] And she spoke for a while with my brother and me

[00:02:42] Chasing after field mice running through the high grass

[00:02:46] That's what she loves to do

[00:02:49] And if she's happy as a mongoose

[00:02:52] It shouldn't bother me or you

[00:02:55] And if I wake up late at night

[00:02:58] I know that everything will be alright

[00:03:02] Cause crawling round on my roof

[00:03:05] Is the woman who is also a mongoose
