windmill in old amsterdam (I saw a mouse) Ronnie Hilton

by admin on July 26, 2010


A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn’t grousin’ He sang every morning “How lucky I am Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam”. (Chorus) I saw a mouse — where? There on the stair Where on the stair? Right there A little mouse with clogs on — well, I declare Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair – oh yeah This mouse, he got lonesome, he took him a wife A windmill with mice in, it’s hardly surprisin’ She sang every morning “How lucky I am Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam” (Chorus) First they had triplets and then they had quins A windmill with quins in, triplets and twins in They sang every morning “How lucky we are Living in a windmill in Amsterdam — ya” (Chorus) The daughters got married and so did the sons The windmill had christenings when no one was listening They all sang in chorus “How lucky we am Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam” (Chorus) A mouse lived in a windmill, so snug and so nice There’s nobody there now but a whole load of mice

I haven’t Ronnie Hilton’s name mentioned since I came to Australia in 1967! Nice to hear his voice again.

I’m so glad the video was recommended for me. I loved the song about 30 years ago, when Maria & Keith used to sing it on A Handful of Songs; this rendition is great, too. The white mice on the girl’s head are too cute for words!

I’m wearing a nice black Cardigan and my so called friends are calling me Val Doonican so I stated singing this only to be further taken the piss out of cos it wasn’t him who sang it! I’m sure he must have at some point! Whatever we all started to sing it!
