Alone at work, in a log cabin late at night
Cambridge, I get to stay till 4
And if not for an appointment
On Thursday or Friday, I could work some more
In charge of my clients safty
All I have to do is stay awake
Between the telivision and the mice
Chicken Parm on the menu, micro to bake
Speaking of mice, they have no idea
Late at night and waiting
Mouse trap set to catch them
Full of peanut butter, it's called baiting
All is quiet, then up and about
Can't get to sleep, someone announced
Remedy seeking and full of curiosity
Still haven't caught a single mouse
Night air thick and black
While hands on the clock tick slowly by
My eyes ache for speed
As 4 am draws nigh
Finally the end, 0130 His last
Every step without alarm
A big fat juicy mouse
Had no idea, I meant him harm
