"I saw a mouse,
Where?
There on the stair
Where on the stair?
Right there.
A little mouse with clogs on
Well, I declare
Going clip, clippity clop on the stair…"
Ok, so he doesn’t have clogs on and he is only a prototype, but you get the idea!
Lyrics from ‘A Windmill in Old Amsterdam’ by Ronnie Hilton, 1965 which is one of my favourite childhood songs along with Mungo Jerry’s ‘Pushbike song’ and Flanders & Swann’s Hippopotamus Song "mud, mud, glorious mud…" Ah, memories!!
