*To the tune  House of the Rising Sun

There is a mouse in my blue jeans
I call him ‘Rising One’.
Been the ruin of many of my jeans
Girls- playing with him is fun.

I see the girls from Pope John’s High
Plaid skirts and clean white blouse
I feel a twinge and then I sigh
Can’t stop that trouser mouse.

*reprise
Oh, mother’s, tell your children
Especially the girl ones.
If you see me  in my tight blue jeans
You know I’m seeking fun!

My father was a ramblin’ man
With his suitcase full of fun.
Toys for all his girls he had
And his very own ‘Rising One’.

My mother was a floozie
And I saw her having fun
Through a hole in the wall I peeked
Saw her backdoor ‘Rising One’

*reprise
