[Intro: Santa & Lisa Schettner]
Ho ho ho!
What do you want for Christmas, young lady, this year?
Aww, Santa
I guess I already have all the important things I could wish for
But if you really, really want to spoil me
Then please
Could you get me a mouse?
A mouse? Like a pet mouse?
Or a computer mouse?
No, no! Not at all!
It's something quite special
Let me explain
[Verse 1]
What you should get me is
A mouse going to ski
Or a mouse in a cup of tea
Or a mouse that looks like me
There's nothing like a mouse
In a Christmas tree
There's a mouse on a train
TherŠµ is a mouse licking a candy cane
WhatevŠµr mouse, I won't complain
I want a Christmas mouse
No, I'm not insane
[Bridge]
People choose for ornaments
Classic winter elements
My best advent
Is to go and spend
My savings on a mouse
See, I really want
[Verse 2]
A mouse
Wrapped in a ribbon
Or a mouse snug in a mitten
I'm not the type to want a kitten
I want a Christmas mouse
No, I'm not kidding
[Chorus]
Mice are selfless rodents
They hold special events
At night
They repair Cinderella's dress
They go and clean up your mess
But they are small
And they could fall
Into a glass of wine
[Verse 3]
And there's a mouse in a ballet shoe
And there's a mouse playing peek-a-boo
And there is one that's dressed like you
I really want a mouse
Oh, you have no clue
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Most people buy as ornaments
Classic winter elements
Snowmen, reindeer, nutcrackers
It's a matter of preference
[Verse 4]
So, dear Santa, let's agree
As you can see
It's not that easy to be me
My wishlist is quite fancy
So if you want to spoil me
Put a mouse under my tree
And there's a mouse skating on ice
And there's a mouse with a cheddar slice
On Christmas mice you can't put a price
As for me a tiny mouse will more than suffice
[Chorus]
Mice are selfless rodents
They hold special events
At night
They repair Cinderella's dress
They go and clean up your mess
But they are small
And they could fall
Into a glass of wine
[Outro]
Bring me a mouse, and it will be
A new addition to the family
Of all the mice waiting impatiently
On the resin-scented branches of my Christmas tree
