The Woman Who Was Also A Mongoose - The Dead Milkmen[00:00:00]
She was once an attraction at the county fair[00:00:19]
And now she sleeps in a box at the top of the stairs[00:00:25]
And she loves it here make no mistake[00:00:32]
Cause she can earn her keep by chasin' snakes[00:00:38]
And if I wake up late at night[00:00:45]
I know that everything will be alright[00:00:48]
Cause crawling round on my roof[00:00:52]
Is the woman who is also a mongoose[00:00:55]
She was born in May nineteen years ago[00:01:18]
In a little town outside Buffalo[00:01:24]
But the town folk feared her and they chased her away[00:01:30]
And now she's happy with a place to stay[00:01:37]
And if I wake up late at night[00:01:43]
I know that everything will be alright[00:01:46]
Cause crawling round on my roof[00:01:50]
Is the woman who is also a mongoose[00:01:53]
She trapped a rattler out behind the barn[00:02:16]
And she let it go without any harm[00:02:22]
Then she came inside for a cup of tea[00:02:29]
And she spoke for a while with my brother and me[00:02:35]
Chasing after field mice running through the high grass[00:02:42]
That's what she loves to do[00:02:46]
And if she's happy as a mongoose[00:02:49]
It shouldn't bother me or you[00:02:52]
And if I wake up late at night[00:02:55]
I know that everything will be alright[00:02:58]
Cause crawling round on my roof[00:03:02]
Is the woman who is also a mongoose[00:03:05]
