Come, my friend, let's take our souls.
Down drainpipes and musty holes.
For somewhere o'er the rainbow
Is somewhere down the street.
Enter the mouse hole
With softly scrabbling feet.
But here, you see, the rainbow's smaller
Or is it just that we are taller?
See a packrat's point of view
The knickknacks he stole from you.
Here are the melted lemon drops,
Piles of car keys and pop-tops.
I found your ticket to Neverland
Under some marbles, mixed with sand.
You see, right here, it's got your name
Right here, under "Destiny's Game."
So if you wish upon a star
For things that were or things that are,
Then you may and then you might
Find some fairy dust tonight.
So are we men or are we mice?
Are we mean or are we nice?
Will we take a chance and fly
Around the moon and pizza pie?
Then click our heels and laugh to find
Ourselves among the lemon rinds
And paper hats and dirty socks
And Care Bear combs and diary locks?
Now the Land of OZ, I have not seen:
I've heard that there, the mice are green.
Down drainpipes and musty holes.
For somewhere o'er the rainbow
Is somewhere down the street.
Enter the mouse hole
With softly scrabbling feet.
But here, you see, the rainbow's smaller
Or is it just that we are taller?
See a packrat's point of view
The knickknacks he stole from you.
Here are the melted lemon drops,
Piles of car keys and pop-tops.
I found your ticket to Neverland
Under some marbles, mixed with sand.
You see, right here, it's got your name
Right here, under "Destiny's Game."
So if you wish upon a star
For things that were or things that are,
Then you may and then you might
Find some fairy dust tonight.

Are we mean or are we nice?

Around the moon and pizza pie?
