VERSE 1:
F                  Bb          Eb        Ab
A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
  Db              Gb           C         F
A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn't grousin'
F             Bb          Eb        Ab
He sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Db          Gb           C         F
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

CHORUS:
F       Bb
I saw a mouse!
Where?
F
There on the stair!
C
Where on the stair?
      F
Right there!
                    Bb
A little mouse with clogs on
F
Well I declare!
      G             C           F
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair

Oh yeah

VERSE 2:
F                  Bb          Eb        Ab
This mouse he got lonesome, he took him a wife
  Db            Gb           C          F
A windmill with mice in, it's hardly surprisin'
F              Bb          Eb        Ab

Db          Gb           C         F
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

The windmill had christ'nin's when no one was list'nin'
