Maurice The Mole

(专辑： Best Of Alphabet Zoo - 1983)

Montague Mergatroyd Mauritius the Mole
Wanted to do more than just go round digging holes
And so with criss-cross tunnels underneath the ground
He was the maker of Mole Town, Maurice the Mole

Montague Mergatroyd Mauritius the Mole
With his velvety coat as black, as black as coal
As the maker of Mole Town he would be the Mayor
Of all the other moles but no one else was there
Maurice the Mole, black as the coal

Maurice the Mole chatted to a garden gnome
"It's no fun being the Mayor on your own
And I've dug all the tunnels and I've made all the holes
But what I really need are a few more moles"
Maurice the Mole, black as the coal, he needed more moles

"It's no good talking to him" a voice said
A dangly voice from up above his head
"I can't see very well", said Maurice "Who's that?"
"Neither can I" said Boris, "I'm a bat"

"If you're looking for moles you won't be waiting long
Loads of them will be here a little later on
For a rescue mission to try to save some mice
They're trapped beneath the rockery"
Said Maurice "That's nice"

Montague Mergatroyd Mauritius went down
He bravely led the other moles underneath the ground
And with their digging and their delving they freed them in a trice
"Hoorah for the moles" said the rescued mice

"Hoorah for our leader, the Mayor of Mole Town"
Shouted the moles from underneath the ground
"We love Mole Town and here we're going to stay"
And Maurice the Mole is the Mayor to this day

Montague Mergatroyd Mauritius the Mole
Wanted to do more than just go round digging holes
And so with criss-cross tunnels underneath the ground
He was the maker of Mole Town

Maurice the Mole, black as the coal, he needed more moles
Achieved his goals with tunnels and holes
