Mousieborn
Another short piece, this time mashing up a certain TV cartoon theme song with a certain popular video game theme…
Words by Joseph Abbott, borrowing from “Pinky and the Brain,” lyrics by Tom Ruegger, music by Richard Stone
Music: “Dragonborn/Dovahkiin” by Jeremy Soule, from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
CHORUS: Mousieborn, mousieborn, though you face so much scorn
You know that your reign is forever nigh
When your schemes are unfurled, you’ll take over the world
If you can, that’s the plan, or at least you will try
DO YOU – PONDER – WHAT I PONDER?
(Well, I think so, Brain, but… won’t it hurt if we join the town guard?)
Though just one has a brain, and the other’s insane
They will prove that as mice they have worth
It’s the same thing that they do on every night…
CHORUS
