The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down

Five Little Mice
Five little mice
On the pantry floor (Hold up five fingers),
This little mouse
Peeked around the door, (Wiggle thumb)
This little mouse
Nibbled on some cake (Wiggle pointer finger),
This little mouse
Not a sound did make (Wiggle middle finger).
This little mouse
Took a bite of cheese (Wiggle ring finger),
This little mouse
Heard the kitten sneeze (Wiggle little finger).
“Ah-choo!” sneezed the kitten
And “Squeak!” they cried (Jump fingers high),
As the mice found a hole
And ran inside (Run fingers behind back).

Little Mice
Softly, softly,
At the close of day,
Little mice come creeping
From their homes to play (Creep fingers around).
No one hears their padded feet
As they pitter-pat.
Mother mouse has warned them
About the family cat (Put finger to lips and say, “Shhh.”).
- Adapted Traditional
A Little Mouse
A little mouse ran up the clock,
He thought that it was fun.
But when he reached the very top,
The clock struck one (Hold up one finger).
Another mouse ran up the clock
In tiny shoes of blue.
And when she reached the very top,
The clock struck two (Hold up two fingers).
Another mouse ran up the clock
To see what he could see.
And when he reached the very top,
The clock struck three (Hold up three fingers).
Another mouse ran up the clock
And found a little door.
And when she reached the very top,
The clock struck four (Hold up four fingers) .
