See the louse chase a mouse,
Hooey-flooey, hooey-flooey.
See the louse chase a mouse,
Hurraw, my John (?).
See the louse chase a mouse
From the kitchen to the house.
We'll all get drunk tonight
But good old sober Joe.

See the hen chase a mink,
Hooey-flooey, hooey-flooey.
See the hen chase a mink,
Hurraw, my John.
See the hen chase a mink
To the spring to get a drink.
We'll all get drunk tonight
But good old sober Joe.

See the flea skin the tree,
Hooey-flooey, hooey-flooey.
See the flea skin the tree,
Hurraw, my John.
See the flea skin the tree
In the middle of the sea.
We'll all get drunk tonight
But good old sober Joe.
