Second Mouse Gets the Cheese

THE SECOND MOUSE GETS THE CHEESE

Patience is a virtue, learned many years ago
Some people in a hurry, but I just take it slow
“He who hesitates is lost” is something I don’t see
‘cause the early bird may get the worm
But the Second Mouse Gets the Cheese

Some people are so greedy they shove you out the way
They think by being speedy they will rule the day
But there’s something worse than not being first
I think you will agree
‘cause the early bird may get the worm
But the Second Mouse Gets the Cheese

BRIDGE
Snap goes the trap!
How I love that sound!
Snap goes the trap!
Another early bird goes down!
Yeah I flipped Mr. Early the Bird
Cause the Second Mouse Gets the Cheese

INSTRUMENTALS

I was sitting in my old Ford -- at a traffic light
A sports car flew right by me – heard him laughing in the night
I saw that same guy later –at a dead stop
On the side of the road – pulled over by a cop
Yeah I flipped Mr. Early the Bird
Cause the Second Mouse Gets the Cheese
