it's here

But I can't remember the tune to the verse...

KBear · 01/09/2005 21:44

We saw a windmill at the weekend down in Rye and me and my two mates sang the whole thing watched by four astonished and slightly embarrassed children.

A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with mice in is hardly surprising
She sang everyone morning "how lucky I am"
"living in a windmill in old Amsterdam".

Someone is bound to have put the whole thing in by the time I typed that!

katymac · 01/09/2005 21:51

Sort of

A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn't grousin'
He sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

de-de-de-dede-de-de-de-de-dedede is the first line

I knew my dh was the man for me when he joined me in singing this song, very late at night at a drunken party.

A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn?t grousin?
He sang every morning ?How lucky I am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam?.

(Chorus)
I saw a mouse ? where? There on the stair
Where on the stair? Right there
A little mouse with clogs on ? well, I declare
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair - oh yeah

This mouse, he got lonesome, he took him a wife
A windmill with mice in, it?s hardly surprisin?
She sang every morning ?How lucky I am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam?

(Chorus)

First they had triplets and then they had quins
A windmill with quins in, triplets and twins in
They sang every morning ?How lucky we are
Living in a windmill in Amsterdam ? ya?

(Chorus)

The daughters got married and so did the sons
The windmill had christenings when no one was listening
They all sang in chorus ?How lucky we am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam?

(Chorus)

A mouse lived in a windmill, so snug and so nice
There?s nobody there now but a whole load of mice

jamiesam · 02/09/2005 20:49

nope, still not got it, help with the tune anyone?

katymac · 02/09/2005 21:41

Now I can't stop singing the Bl**dy thing

jamiesam · 02/09/2005 22:24

lol, that's alright, I can't start (well, can't get past the chorus...)

katymac · 02/09/2005 22:33

It's just like the chorus but a bit slower (as if you couldn't quite play in on the piano)

MrsSpoon · 02/09/2005 22:35

Fab, my Mum used to sing this!

madmarchhare · 02/09/2005 22:37

Oh, I love this.

MrsSpoon · 02/09/2005 22:37

jamiesam · 02/09/2005 22:48

MrsSpoon · 02/09/2005 22:56

jamiesam · 02/09/2005 23:12
