The Woman Who Was Also A Mongoose Lyrics - Dead Milkmen

She was once an attraction at the county fair 

And now she sleeps in a box at the top of the stairs 

And she loves it here, make no mistake 

Cause she can earn her keep by chasin' snakes 

And if I wake up late at night 

I know that everything will be alright 

Cause crawling round on my roof 

Is the woman who is also a mongoose 

She was born in May, nineteen years ago 

In a little town outside Buffalo 

But the town folk feared her and they chased her away 

And now she's happy with a place to stay

And if I wake up late at night 

I know that everything will be alright 

Cause crawling round on my roof 

Is the woman who is also a mongoose 

She trapped a rattler out behind the barn 

And she let it go without any harm 

Then she came inside for a cup of tea 

And she spoke for a while with my brother and me 

Chasing after field mice, running through the high grass 

That's what she loves to do 

And if she's happy as a mongoose 

It shouldn't bother me or you

And if I wake up late at night 

I know that everything will be alright 

Cause crawling round on my roof 

Is the woman who is also a mongoose
