Charity Churchmouse
"On the Front Line"
RISKY’S FAST DEAL

You gotta make a fast deal, Minerva;
Get her to run the risk with Risky.
You’ve gotta make that mouse squeal, Minerva,
Or it’s mothballs for you and you’re hist’ry.

You gotta make a fast deal to make a fast buck,
You gotta corner her quick or we’re both outta luck.
You gotta make a fast deal, Minerva,
Make a fast deal for the rat-tat-tat-tat,
Make a fast deal for the rat.

I’m gonna buzz this mouse quick, Risky;
She’ll be scratchin’ for years, yes, I’m certain.
Well, I’ll cinch the deal quick, then it’s curtains.

Yes, I’ll zoom right on in, and put on the bite;
With a long nose like mine we’ll be dancin’ tonight.

I’m gonna buzz this mouse quick, Risky;
Make a fast deal for that rat-tat-tat-tat,
Make a fast deal for the rat.

(Spoken over shuffle)
Risky: We’re quite a pair, A team
Minerva: We gotta lot of steam,
We’re hard, We’re fast, We’re tough,
(both) We really make things rough.
Risky: It’s time to get that mouse.
Minerva: She’s really quite a louse.
Risky:And get that mouse choir, too
Minerva: They’ll be our rodent stew.
Both: We’re really bad, the pits, yeah, the worst,
We’re wicked, we’re evil, we’re sinful, we’re cursed!
: Oo, what a smooth move;
Minerva: It’s the Mosquito Mambo.
Risky: Oo, I like that step.
Minerva: Not so bad yourself.
Risky: Come on, shuffle it on down, Minerva.
Minerva: A five and a six and a seven and a eight.

You gotta make a fast deal, Minerva;
Get her to run the risk with Risky.
I’m gonna make that mouse squeal, Minerva,
Or it’s mothballs for me and I’m hist’ry.


We gotta make a fast deal to make a fast buck,
We gotta corner her quick or we’re both outta luck.
We gotta make a fast deal, Minerva, (Risky)
Make a fast deal for the rat-tat-tat-tat,
Make a fast deal for the rat-tat-tat-tat,
Make a fast deal for the rat.
What a rat!
