  A                                    D             A  
Smile your little smile --- take some tea with me awhile.  
  G               D                     A  
Brush away that black cloud from your shoulder.  
  A                        D                    A  
Twitch your whiskers.  Feel that you're really real.  
  G               D              A  
Another tea-time --- another day older.  
 
            A                          D                   A  
Puff warm breath on your tiny hands.  You wish you were a man  
  G                D            A  
who every day can turn another page.  
              A                              D             A  
Behind your glass you sit and look --- at my ever-open book  
G                D            A  
One brown mouse sitting in a cage.  
 
E          D            A  
Do you wonder if I really care for you  
E            D           A  
Am I just the company you keep  
  F             C                D      A  
Which one of us exercises on the old treadmill  
  E           G                    D  
Who hides his head, pretending to sleep?  
   
 
  A                                    D             A  
Smile your little smile --- take some tea with me awhile.  
G                    D            A  
And every day we'll turn another page.  
             A                                  D             A  
Behind our glass we'll sit and look ---- at our ever-open book  
G                D            A
