Mouse In My Toolbox

When I say goodnight and I turn out the light
I close my eyes, ready to sleep
Then I hear a noise, but it's not from my toys
My dogs, or my cats, or the street

I hear a bang, bang, bang from my hammer
And a turn, turn, turn with my screwdriver
There's a paw on my saw and an eye on my drill
And a little tail is wrapped around my pliers
There's a mouse in my toolbox

She wants a house like my house
She wants a floor like my floor
She wants to rock in a rocking chair
On the porch outside her front door

And she wants a room like my room
She wants a bed like my bed
She wants a toy chest full of toys
That's painted purple and red

I hear her bang, bang, bang with my hammer
And turn, turn, turn my screwdriver
There's a paw on my saw and an eye on my drill
And a little tail is wrapped around my pliers
There's a mouse in my toolbox

I turn on the light again, look at my tiny friend
And I start to dream my own dream
I'll help build a house as a gift for my mouse
And then we can both go to sleep

And so I'll bang, bang, bang with my hammer
And I'll turn, turn, turn my screwdriver
I'll use my wrench and my saw and my power drill
And I'll tie it with a bow made out of wire
For the mouse in my toolbox
For the mouse in my toolbox
For the mouse in my toolbox

Bang, bang, bang
