The Dead Milkmen - The Woman Who Was Also a Mongoose lyrics
[The Dead Milkmen - The Woman Who Was Also a Mongoose lyrics]
And now she sleeps in a box
At the top of the stairs
And she loves it here, make no mistake
Cause she can earn her keep by chasin' snakes
And if I wake up late at night
I know that everything will be alright
Cause crawling round on my roof
Is the woman who is also a mongoose
She was born in May, nineteen years ago
In a little town outside Buffalo
But the town folk feared her
And they chased her away
And now she's happy with a place to stay
And if I wake up late at night
I know that everything will be alright
Cause crawling round on my roof
Is the woman who is also a mongoose
She trapped a rattler out behind the barn
And she let it go without any harm
Then she came inside for a cup of tea
And she spoke for a while
With my brother and me
Chasing after field mice
Running through the high grass
That's what she loves to do
And if she's happy as a mongoose
It shouldn't bother me or you
And if I wake up late at night
I know that everything will be alright
Cause crawling round on my roof
Is the woman who is also a mongoose
