The Little Mouse

    A                             E
A little mouse got into the wires
At the central clearing house in 
    A        E7
Buenos Aires
                 A                 
One little mouse short circuited 
            E7
the computers
                                   A
Says a press dispatch from Reuters

                 D        A
Hooray for the little mouse
        B                   E
That fucked up the clearing house
  D                           A
And threw the Stock Exchange in a 
spin
  Bm                     E
And made the bankers cry


[Chorus 1]

   A            E7         A
So much for the electronic brains
                       E       
That run the world of banks and 
  A
aeroplanes
       D                        A 
And if one little mouse can set 
       Bm
them all awry
E7                A E
Why not you and I?


[Verse 2]

Continues after the ad
N.C.
Then there was another item in the 
papers
N.C.
About a bank's computers
N.C.
That messed up the accounts
N.C.
So the farmer's checks all bounced
N.C.
So his business fell apart
N.C.
And it nearly broke his heart
N.C.
So he took the bank to court
N.C.
And they gave him an award
N.C.
Of a hundred and fifty thousand 
dollars
N.C.
The bank appealed and on due 
consideration
N.C.
The higher court doubled the 
compensation


[Bridge 1]

D                               A
So if a computer does it to you
            E                 
You can sue, or chew the wires 
     A
through
