GUEST,My whole family sings the drunken mouse song Origins:Mouse on the Barroom Floor/Intoxicated Rat (45) RE: Mouse on the Barroom Floor 04 Jun 02


We learned it from my mother's father, who used to sing it to the family cat and my stuffed animals when I was a child! Now I sing it to my two cats. My siblings and I were just singing it at a family reunion recently. We only know the sanitized version: "The liquor was spilled on the bar room floor and the bar was closed for the night; When a little mouse crept from a hole in the wall and sat in the pale moonlight. Well, he lapped up the liquor on the bar room floor and on his haunches he sat; And all night long you could hear him ROAR: BRING ON THE GOSH-DARN CAT!" Elizabeth
