The Field Mouse

        Well I've written a treatise on philosophy
	I can quote you Sappho in original Greek
	Quantum theory I know in and out
	But I didn't know about the field mouse
            

        I didn't know about the field mouse
	I didn't know about the field mouse
	Relativity does not leave me in doubt
	But I didn't know about the field mouse

        I can conquer all the armies of the Russian tzar
	I command on land and sea near and far
	My piercing gaze will turn your men to rout
	But I can't defend against the field mouse

        I can't defend against the field mouse
	I can't defend against the field mouse
	My piercing gaze will turn your men to rout
	But I can't defend against the field mouse

        I can picture every move that a man could make
	And a couple of maneuvers that are known to the snake
	I can see the tiger in his golden house
	But I can't imagine the field mouse

        I can't imagine the field mouse
	I can't imagine the field mouse
        I can see the painted tiger in his comfortable house
	But I can't  imagine the field mouse
