Luyện nghe bài hát Scouse's Dream

By Roger

I SIT AND WATCH WHILE SING AND DANCE,
BUT I SOME DAY I WILL HAVE MY CHANCE.
I'M TODAY, IT'S TRUE,
MY CHANCES HAVE FEW,
BUT I'M NOT 'CAUSE I KNOW WHAT I CAN DO.

I MAY BE A TINY AND IN A CAGE,
BUT I KNOW I BELONG THE STAGE.
AND DAY I WILL BE
A
AND THE ONE I'M WATCHING ON THE TV WILL BE ME.

NOW TEND TO TREAT A MOUSE
WITH CONVERSATIONS,
BUT I AM LIKE NO YOU'VE EVER SEEN.
SO IF YOU THINK OF ME WAY,
THEN I SHOULD MENTION,
I'M SCOUSE THE MOUSE AND I GOT A DREAM.

OOH!

SO LOOK OUT, WORLD, 'CAUSE I COME,
IF YOU SOMEONE SPECIAL, I'M THE ONE.
I MAY BE SMALL,
IT DOESN'T ME AT ALL,
I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT SOME DAY I'LL BE TEN FEET TALL.

NOBODY HEARD THIS MOUSE SINGING IN THE NIGHT AS HE DREAMED OF THE FAMOUS ON THE TELEVISION.

CAME.

ON CHRISTMAS MORNING THE BOY RAN IN, A MINTS PIE.
"HERE YOU ARE, MISTER SCOUSE, IT'S A PRESENT FOR YOU." IT WAS A TINY ROPE LADDER.
"SEE IF YOU CAN RUN UP THAT!" THE BOY TURNED HIS BACK. THE BOY HAD THE DOOR OPEN!
SEES THE ROPE LADDER AND SWUNG LIKE TARZAN OUT INTO SPACE.
"HEY! BACK!"
THERE WAS A TINY HOLE IN THE WALL, SCOUSE DISAPPEARED. THROUGH THE MOUSEHOLE HE COULD SEE HIS BELOVED TELLY. HE SOMETHING, LOOKED, A BROWN MOUSE WAS STARING AT HIM.
"HELLO, WHITIE!" SAID THE MOUSE. IN ANIMO, OF COURSE.
"WHAT? WHO'S WHO ARE YOU?"
"I'M A MOUSE. I LIVE HERE. I WAS YOU DOING ALL THOSE FUNNY NOISES."
"THAT'S SPEAKING! THAT'S ENGLISH! I LEARNT IT FROM THE TELLY. I TEACH YOU ENGLISH. OH, SORRY, I FORGOT, I LEAVE TONIGHT."
"WHERE YOU GOING?"
"INTO THE WORLD! THE WORLD NEEDS ME! WHY DON'T YOU JOIN ME, WE BE A GROUP?"
"I'LL THINK IT."
"WHAT'S NAME?"
"BONCE, BECAUSE I'VE GOT A BIG HEAD. MY FATHER ME THAT. HE WAS A LONDON MOUSE."

ALL THAT DAY, SCOUSE AND BONCE WATCHED THROUGH THEIR PEEPHOLE , PEOPLE LAUGHED AND CHILDREN PLAYED. THE SMELL OF THE DINNER. THE MICE WERE VERY HUNGRY.
THE JOLLIES WERE ON THE TELEVISION, AND SCOUSE WATCHED.
