Ian Anderson - One Brown Mouse lyrics

Smile your little smile --- take some tea with me awhile Brush 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 gla** 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 --- Am I just the company 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 And every day we'll turn another page Behind our gla** we'll sit and look at our ever-open book --- One brown mouse sitting in a cage
