G                                      D
Locked down tight inside my house with no one here but a little mouse

D                                G
He goes his way I go mine but we get together at dinner time

C                                    G
He don’t abide by social distance he runs all over my fresh washed dishes

D                                            G
Stares at me with beady eyes his little nose sniffing my oven baked fries
[Chorus]
C               G
Locked up we’re locked up

D
Government tells me to shut my door

G
Except for trips to my package store

Congress tells me to wear a mask

C                                         G

D                                  G
My little mouse he don’t care if I go a week and don’t comb my hair

C                                      G
He don’t abide by social distance he’s way more into coexistence

Stares at me with greedy eyes my pork and beans clearly tantalize

D                                            G
Little mouse he seems quite impressed but of course he’s just a rodent pest

C                                     G
He don’t abide by social distance just picks the path of least resistance

D                                G
Stares at me as if to say what’s all this fear about doomsday
[Chorus]

Locked up I am locked up

D
Government tells me to shut my door

G
Except for trips to my package store

C              G

Me and mouse we will be fine

C                       G
Pay no attention to our waistlines

Guess it’s time to go to bed my eyes are blurred can’t clear my head
