Luyện nghe bài hát Scouse's Dream

By Roger

I SIT AND WATCH WHILE OTHERS AND DANCE,
BUT I KNOW DAY I WILL HAVE MY CHANCE.
I'M DOWN TODAY, TRUE,
MY CHANCES HAVE FEW,
BUT I'M NOT DISCOURAGED 'CAUSE I WHAT I CAN DO.

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

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

OOH!

SO LOOK OUT, WORLD, HERE 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 LIFE ON THE TELEVISION.

CAME.

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

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