Mousetrap Lyrics

Been playing Shaftsbury Avenue

For a thousand years or maybe two - darlings

Done plenty bum gigs in my time

But everything's alright now

In the mousetrap

In the mousetrap



We fall in love most every night

We're quite ridiculously tight - darlings

And yeah I feel some kind of freak

Getting killed six times a week

In the mousetrap

In the mousetrap



It's nearly half past three

Gotta do a matinee

I don't understand this game

Why everything's the same

But as the show go on and on

And on and on

And on and on and on and on and on

And on



I know the punters mustn't see

How mundane it seems to me - darlings

But sometimes I wish I could screw

Someone else in Shaftsbury Avenue

In the mousetrap

In the mousetrap



Curtain up - exposition

Development of character

Plot - unravelling slow

Sustaining interest, gathering momentum

Till they unmask the killer

Then a twist right at the end

And it's all over till tomorrow night

In the mousetrap

In the mousetrap

In the mousetrap

In the mousetrap

In the mousetrap

In the mousetrap

In the mousetrap

In the mousetrap

In the mousetrap

In the mousetrap
