A Mouse Will a Roving Go

The song from Avi's new book!

A mouse will a-roving go,
Along wooded paths and pebbled ways
To places high and places low,
Where birds do sing 'neath sunny rays,
For the world is full of mice, oh!
For the world is full of mice, oh!

A mouse will a-roving go
By highways, byways; long wooded trails
To forests; cities. Rain or snow
Not bothered by cats, or the smallest snails
For the world is full of mice, oh!
For the world is full of mice, oh!

A mouse will a-roving go
O'r hills; along tumbling creeks
To climb the rocks and swim each flow
No care for time—hours, days, or weeks
It’s the joy of life that every mouse seeks
For the world is full of mice, oh!
For the world is full of mice, oh!
