Artist: By The Dead Milkmen!
Source: from Not Richard, but Dick
Transcribbed by Benny
And April
INTRO: 3 progressions of D Bm G D
She was once an attraction at the county fair
And now she sleeps in a box at the top of the stairs
And she loves it here make no mistake
Cause she can earn her keep by chasin snakes
And if I wake up late at night i know that everything will
Be alright, cause crawling round on my room is the woman
Who was also a mongoose
A
(D Bm G D)x4
She was born in May ninety years ago
In a little town outside Buffalo
But the town folk feared her and they chased her away
And now she’s happy with a place to stay
And if I wake up late at night i know that everything will
Be alright, cause crawling round on my room is the woman
Who was also a mongoose
(D Bm G D)x4
She trapped a rattler out behind the barn
And she let it go without any harm
Then she came inside for a cup of tea
And she spoke for a while with my brother and me
Chasing after feild mice running through the high grass
Thats what she loves to do
And if she’s happy as a mongoose, shouldn’t bother me or you
And if I wake up late at night i know that everything will
Be alright, cause crawling round on my room is the woman
Who was also a mongoose
(D Bm G D) x2 A D
