Night Lunch (ye olde)
Lyrics
[Intro - slow, atmospheric]Clip... clop... a midnight moonThe night lunch cart rolls in
[Chorus 1]Sweep... sweep... dust and leafWindows all aglowTiny paws are searchingFor something in the 'neath
[Verse 1 - The Scene]Drip... drop... coffee's hotNoses sniff the airShuffle... yawn... bellies growlThe night lunch bell is ringingTick... hum... oven's onPots and spoons are clanging
[Verse 2 - The Feast]Hoot... hoot... mince pie for FoxBadger wants a sandwichCrack... crack... a dozen eggsSizzling in the panOne two, just like thatSausages and peppersOne two, just like thatButter rolls and biscuitsRustle... wrap... all to goPuddings for little possums
[Chorus 2]Sweep... sweep... dust and leafWindows all aglowEmpty belly achingNe'er to be a thief
[Verse 3 - The Mouse]Sweep... sweep... only crumbs to eatNo pennies in the gutterTick... tock... time to stopThe sky outside is brighteningHere... here... what have we here?Little Mouse is trembling
[Verse 4 - The Gift]One two, just like thatA night lunch feast is waitingOne two, just like thatA night lunch feast for twoMouse says thank you, thank you twiceOwl just nods and ruffles
[Chorus 3 - warm, resolved]Sweep... sweep... dust and leafWindows all aglowGrateful whiskers bristlingSighing with relief
[Outro - fading, gentle]Clip... clop... the morning sunThe night lunch cart rolls on...
[Instrumental Outro]
