[Narrator]
Well, they certainly like their cheese, don't they?
So the news of the survey quickly spread through the land
People were curious, was this cheese all that grand?
They all wanted to know, so from everywhere they sped
With their cheese forks, cheese knives, and cheese hats on their heads
From towns near or far, the masses did roam
But when they arrived, they were sеnt right back home
Neither thе king nor the townsfolk wanted to share their precious cheese
Because they were aware that even if the cheese makers worked without slowing down
They could still only make enough cheese for one town
The cheese wouldn't be traded or lent out or sold
Not for peanuts or pickles, not for silver or gold
In fact, they locked up the gates and hid all the keys
They built a big wall so that no one could get their cheese
Now at this point, the king was satisfied, so back in his cheese chambers he sat
He smelled his cheese proudly, and that was that
But that sweet cheese aroma, it wasn't quite through
All the folks in the castle, they could smell the cheese too (nice!)
And the interesting thing is that it didn't stop there
It carried out to the garden, through the streets and the square
And right at that moment, a strong gust from the bay
Blew into the town and it grabbed that bouquet
It carried it out past the walls of the town
Past the fields and streams and forests around
Right out to the country, where it happened by chance
That the country mice were having a square dance
[Verse 1, emcee]
Swing your partner by the tail
Do-si-do and do not fail
If you do you'll go to jail
Now stop and stomp your feet
[Verse 2, emcee]
Everybody bends your knees
Tilt your head and then you sneeze
Strike a pose and all say, "Cheese!"
'Cause cheese is what we eat! (Yum!)
[Chorus, emcee]
We are the mice
Take our advice
Don't think twice
Just give us a slice
Cheddar or Swiss
Provolone is bliss
Nothing else will please
'Cause we love cheese!
[Bridge]
Do-si-do!
Now promenade!
Bow to your partner! (Nice to meet ya!)
Drink some lemonade!
Here we go!
[Interlude]
(Emcee) What is that delicious smell?
(Mouse 1) I don't know, but it's coming from the castle
(Mouse 2 & 3) It's spectacular!
(Mouse 4) It's marvelous!
(Emcee) It's... no, it couldn't be. Yes, it's cheese!!
[Verse 3, emcee]
Swing your partner, don't be late
We're headed for the castle gate
Hurry up, we've got a date
With a cheese that smells so fine
[Verse 4, emcee]
Swing your partner by the toe
Everybody do-si-do
Don't you know we've gotta go
(mice) It's cheese-eating time!
[Chorus, the mice]
We are the mice (we are the mice)
Take our advice (take our advice)
Don't think twice (and don't think twice)
Just give us a slice (a slice of)
Cheddar or Swiss
Provolone is bliss
