*Watch out - you might get burninated
Burning leaves
Strange but not a stranger
He was a really stupid guy
Burning down the mouse!

Hold tight - wait till the mouse is over
Hold tight - we’re in for tinder boxes
There has got to be a way
Burning down the mouse!

Here’s your ticket pack your back: time for runnin’ back there
The news network is here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where’s the door
Fightin’ fire with fire

<snip>

My house s’out of the ordinary
That’s might don’t want to hurt nobody
Something sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the mouse!*

Apologies to Springsteen…

*Hey little man it ain’t just your home
You want to kill me so you can live there all alone

Tell me now asshole was I bad to you
Just what in hell exactly did I do
To get thrown on a pyre
I’m on fire

Sometimes to kill me, the wife and baby
You leave a Victor right outside
my little mouse hole

But at night I wake up with the cheese instead
That I stole from that trap meant to
Crush my head
Did that raise your ire, cuz Ohhhhh
I’m on fire*
