Hap Palmer - The Mice Go Marching lyrics

The mice go marching quietly by, shh! shh!
The mice go marching quietly by, shh! shh!
They march with softly clicking sounds
You hardly know that they're around
Oh the mice go marching quietly by, shh!
The mighty monster marches by
Kaboom! kaboom!
The mighty monster marches by
Kaboom! kaboom!
With hairy legs and heavy feet
He cracks the pavement with each beat
And the mighty monster marches by, Kaboom!
The mice go marching up the monster, Dear
Oh dear!
The mice go marching up the monster, Dear
Oh dear!
They're stepping softly through his hair
So monster will not know they're there
And the mice go marching up the monster Dear!
The monster sneezes suddenly, Achoo! achoo!
The monster sneezes suddenly, Achoo! achoo!
He shakes and makes a thunderous sound
The mice fly off and tumble down
When the monster sneezes suddenly, Achoo!
The mice all laugh and squeak, "What fun
Tee hee! tee hee!"
The mice all laugh and squeak, "What fun
Tee hee! tee hee!"
With tiny thumps they hit the ground
They slip and slide and roll around
And the mice all laugh and squeak, "What fun
Tee hee!"
Here are several ways this song can be used:
-Clap or play rhythm instruments softly
When the mice move
And loudly when the monster moves
-Use your fingers and hands to
Act out each verse:
(1) Walk fingers (2) Pound fists (3)
Start at your toes and walk
Your fingers up to the top of your head
(4) Loudly say, "Achoo!"
(5) Let your fingers fly off your body and
Land on the floor as you softly giggle
"Tee hee"

-Act out each verse using your whole body:
(1) Tip-toe quietly (2) Stamp your feet (3)
Tip-toe at a low level gradually
Rise to a high level (4) Do a whole body
Convulsive sneezing motion
(5) Repeatedly, jump high, land
And fall, slip, slide and roll
