Explore "Songs for Parents: The Ambitious Mouse" by John Chipman Farrar on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
If all the world were candy And the sky were frosted cake, Oh, it would be a splendid job For a mouse to undertake!
To eat a path of sweetmeats Through candy forest aisles -- Explore the land of Pepper-mint Stretched out for miles and miles.
To gobble up a cloudlet, A little cup-cake star, To swim a lake of liquid sweet With shores of chocolate bar.
But, best of all the eating, Would be the toothsome fat, Triumphant hour of mouse-desire, To eat a candy cat!
