Allan, One version I used to sing in the 60s was to the tune of Real Old Mountain Dew. was about a drunken mouse
Oh the liquer was spilt on the bar room floor and the bar was closed for the night When a little mouse crawled from a hole in the wall in the shadow of the pale moonlight He lapped at the liquer on the bar room floor and back on his haunches he sat And all night long you could hear him roar "Bring on that bloody cat"
Now the black cat came from behind the bar and he gobbled up the little white mouse And the moral of this story is Never take a drink on the house
