lyrics

[MOUSE]
Dropped head first, how could this day get any worse?
Is it a blessing or a curse to be stranded here in this paradise?
Carried away into this picture perfect place, it is a wedding or a wake?
To be stranded here in this paradise?

I'll never ever need to work again to get the feed,
I'm living large and counting all of my seeds,
A tragic end indeed, to be stranded here in this paradise
I'll never dig a ditch again I'm hanging with my cricket friends
I'm happier than I've ever been and I hope it never ends
I'm a tourist here in this paradise

[SCIENTIST]
Everything you want you want you've got,
A water hole and a sleeping spot
You're the king of comfort in every way
But you're staring at the world through a window pane

[MOUSE]
I'll never ever need to work again to get the feed,
I'm living large and counting all of my seeds,
A tragic end indeed, to be stranded here in this paradise

[SCIENTIST]
Don't you count your chickens yet
For one wrong move and you'll be dead,
Take a moment look around you're not the only one in town,
Can't you see that there's a price to living here in Paradise?
Just when you thought you were safe
You realized you were standing on top of the tail of an old rattlesnake
