Smile your little smile - take some tea with me awhile. Brush away that black cloud from your shoulder. Twitch your whiskers. Feel that you're really real. Another tea-time - another day older.
Puff warm breath on your tiny hands. You wish you were a man Who every day can turn another page. Behind your glass you sit and look at my ever-open book - One brown mouse sitting in a cage.
Do you wonder if I really care for you - Am I just the company you keep - Which one of us exercises on the old treadmill - Who hides his head, pretending to sleep?
Smile your little smile - take some tea with me awhile. Brush away that black cloud from your shoulder. Twitch your whiskers. Feel that you're really real. Another tea-time - another day older.
Smile your little smile - take some tea with me awhile. And every day we'll turn another page. Behind our glass we'll sit and look at our ever-open book - One brown mouse sitting in a cage.
