Once a little Mousey (Children's song)

Once a little mousey
made a little housey
out of straw and hay
but a big wind blew
and before he knew
it had blown his house away.

 

So that little mousey
made another housey
out of twigs of brown
but the wind did blow;
blew so hard, you know,
that it blew his whole house down.

 

But that little mousey
a third little housey
made all out of stones.
The wind blew a storm
but the house stood firm
so the wind left it alone.

 

Like that little mousey
in his little housey,
when we fall or fail
we must try again;
try and try and then
in the end we will prevail.
