SteveF Origins:Mouse on the Barroom Floor/Intoxicated Rat (45) RE: Mouse on the Barroom Floor 29 Dec 98


I recall this one from my teenage years. We also had a third verse:

Then a black cat jumped through a hole in the door
and gobbled up the little brown mouse
The moral of the story is
Never have a drink on the house!

A tune you want?! Hoo-boy! Well, I don't know the name of the tune, but we sang it to the music that you always hear in cartoons when three characters go marching with a fife, drum, and flag, as depicted in the famous painting "Spirit of '76." Maybe someone can identify this too-familiar fife-and-drum piece. I would sure like to know!
