VERSE 1
See th louse chase th mouse
Hoeey-flooey, hooey-flooey
See th louse chase th mouse
Thru a hall, my John
See th louse chase th mouse
From th kitchen to th house
We'll all get drunk tonight
But good ole sober Joe

VERSE 2
See th hen chase th mink
Hooey-flooey, hooey-flooey
See th hen chase th mink
Thru th hall, my John
See th hen chase th mink
To th spring t' get a drink
We'll all get drunk tonight
But good ole sober Joe

VERSE 3
See th flea skin th tree
Hooey-flooey, hooey-flooey
See th flea skin th tree
Thru th hall, my John
See th flea skin th tree
In th middle of th sea
We'll all get drunk tonight
But good ole Sober Joe
