INTRO: 3 progressions of
< x4>
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
< x2>
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
< x2>
( )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
< x2>
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
( )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
< x2>
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
< x2>
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
