Scousey

By Roger Brown

SCOUSEY, YOU'RE LIKE A DREAM TO ME,
BUT WHO KNOWS IF YOU SHOULD TURN OUT TO BE
AS REAL AS REAL CAN BE.

SCOUSEY, YOUR NOSE, YOUR LAUGHING EYES,
YOUR CHARMING LITTLE SMILE, OH, IT'S NO SURPRISE,
I LOVED YOU AT FIRST SIGHT.

NOW I BELIEVE, I NEVER SEEN A MOUSE
MORE LOVELY THAN YOU.
AND EVEN IF I DO, HE'LL REMINDS ME OF YOU.

SCOUSEY, I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER WHEN
I MET YOU, IT SEEMS LIKE I KNEW THEN
THAT YOU WERE GOING TO BE MY FRIEND.

NOW I BELIEVE, I NEVER SEEN A MOUSE
MORE LOVELY THAN YOU.
AND EVEN IF I DO, HE'LL REMINDS ME OF YOU.

SCOUSEY, YOU'RE LIKE A DREAM TO ME,
BUT IF YOU'RE REAL, JUST AS REAL CAN BE,
WELL, I'M SO GLAD BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SCOUSEY,
WO, WO, WO, SCOUSEY,
WO, WO, WO, SCOUSEY,
WO, WO, WO, SCOUSEY.

"WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS? LOOK, THESE DOLLS HAVE ALL KINDS OF CHANGES OF CLOTHES AND THEY'RE NOT MUCH BIGGER THAN YOU. HEY! IF YOU CAN SING SONGS YOU MIGHT AS WELL HAVE SOME CLOTHES."
"WELL, I ...ER... WOULDN'T MIND TRYING SOMETHING ON. YOU KNOW, NO OBLIGATION TO BUY."
"TAKE YOUR CHOICE."
"EH...OH...ER...WELL, I, I RATHER LIKE THIS YELLOW BLAZER AND...AND...AND THESE TROUSERS, THESE, THESE TROUSERS ARE RATHER NICE, OH, I'LL JUST SLIP THEM ON THEN."

WELL, WE'RE GOING ON A BOAT RIDE,
WELL, WE'RE GOING ON A BOAT RIDE...

"THAT'S THE..."
"THE JOLLIES!"
"BUT YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND, I KNOW THE JOLLIES!"
"EV'RYONE KNOWS THE JOLLIES!"
THE DOOR TO THE CABIN OPENED AND ONE BY ONE THE JOLLIES CAME INTO THE ROOM.
HOLLY SMILED AT HER FAMILY. "MAY I PRESENT MISTER SCOUSE! SING, SCOUSE!
"OH, OKAY THEN, HERE IT GOES."
