Green Mouse


[Intro]

Lark, nice lark
Alouette I will pluck you
Lark, nice lark, lark

[Verse 1]
A green mouse that smoked weed
Who does what he wants and who swells his pecs
I show it to these gentlemen
These gentlemen tell me: “Oh, my friend, you have to stop drinking, go back to school, stop weed”
So people look down on me, they think I'm hallucinating
When the cats are not around, the mice dance
When the cats are not around, the mice dance
Oh oh

[Chorus]
Brother Jacques, Brother Jacques, are you asleep? Are you sleeping ?
I said "ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong"
Ding, ding, ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong

[Verse 2]
In the light of the moon, my friend Pierrot
Gotta give back my money, you're running away from my number
You have a new car, I have to give back my euros
One day under the moon, I'm going to catch you, Pierrot
Maya, mwana mabé (she is mabé)
Winnie, o lelaka drink (enjoy the drink)
Maya, mwana mabé (she is mabé)
Winnie, o lelaka drink
[Bridge]
Lark, little lark
Alouette I will pluck you
Lark, little lark, lark

[Chorus]
Brother Jacques, Brother Jacques, are you asleep? Are you sleeping ?
I said "ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong"
Ding, ding, ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong

[Bridge]
Lark, nice lark
Alouette I will pluck you
Lark, nice lark, lark
Go to sleep, Colas my little brother
Go to sleep, you will have cakes

[Chorus]
Brother Jacques, Brother Jacques, are you asleep? Are you sleeping ?
I said "ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong"
Ding, ding, ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong
