A LITTLE WHITE MOUSE CALLED STEVE
(M.H. Latimer)

Jimmy Charles - 1961


They said not a creature was stirring
On that well known Christmas Eve
But one little mouse took a trip through the house
A little white mouse called Steve

His eyes, like two buttons were shining
For he just could not believe
The way Santa came, how he knew him by name
That little white mouse called Steve

There were trolleys and bugles
Yes, Santa Claus filled each sock
Steve scampered in and out, scurried all about
Then he ran up the clock

At last, dear old Santa was packing
And he slung his bag to leave
So, off like a breeze, leaving one piece of cheese
For that little white mouse called Steve

There were dollies and bugles
Yes, Santa Claus filled each sock
Steve scampered in and out, scurried all about
Then he ran up the clock

At last, dear old Santa was packing
And he slung his bag to leave
So, off like a breeze, leaving one piece of cheese
For that little white mouse called Steve
