to go mama gathers her children viva storm here toveza the papa alive he'd say stick together then siegfried speaks up papa's not dead and when he comes home he'll bust that rat's head siegfried look out mamavon screams as out springs a cat from nowhere it seems panicked my scatter in every direction seeking someplace to hide some place for protection when the danger is passed they realize the cost there lies siegfried's glasses but siegfried is lost the church bells toll a shrine near the church holds the little lost soul around him silent figures seem frozen as can be without the aid of glasses siegfried cannot see this shrine holds a creche and the christmas child the holy infant so tender and mild siegfried is freezing will he end this way he thinks of his father and starts to pray oh please god i haven't been naughty don't let me end up a frozen mouse body it could have been chance or carefully planned but it seemed at that moment someone lent a hand for out of the blue and coming his way are the family von mice and a boy with a sleigh siegfried hears them and squeals that family is mine and he gets so excited he falls out of the shrine his mama cries sing breed and so do the others there is hugging and kissing from sisters and brothers mama gives him his glasses so siegfried can see the boy who befriended his lost family the boy's name is gustel he smiles with delight and in the boy's eyes all is calm all is bright i live in this church in a room that is nice you can all live with me and be the church mice they go through the door and to their delight see people preparing for christmas this night some deck the halls with boughs of pine while the choir sings praise to that night divine but one thing above all captures young siegfried's eye the gold pipes of the organ reaching up to the sky and the voice of the organ as it sings with the choir lifts the little mouse higher and higher gustelle stops at his door siegfried looks back and then he says god's house is beautiful and the choir sings amen a star in the sky shines a heavenly light as mama tucks her children in bed for the night their bellies are full their cares seem to cease while the family von mice sleep in heavenly peace all except siegfried who tosses and turns an unsettled feeling inside of him churns he climbs out of bed and says god not to bother but i can't sleep i've been thinking about father now i know that you saved us from the jaws of the cat and you saved us from freezing when it came down to that and i really like living here in your house and i like the big organ and i'll be a good mouse and i know you've watched papa while he's been away so could you send him home for us christmas day the little mouse still not sure how he ranks ends his request with by the way thanks now who's that in the shadows in this room in god's house what sinister figure is watching the mouse this ominous someone in cloak and hat is their villainous landlord uriah the rat he muffles a chuckle inside of his shroud now i will have the revenge that i vowed so you like the big organ well an organ needs bellows if it looked like mice chewed them you would be homeless fellows so pleased with himself he chuckles once more then he slithers his way through the bellows room door there lie the bellows made of leather and wood the things mice might chew if they weren't being good the rat rips the bellows he chews and rips more but he stops when he sees siegfried standing in the door he cannot leave this witness who's observed his attack so he snatches the child and stuffs him in a sack he arrives at the docks just before dawn where he's going to drown siegfried when he meets papa vaughn though his ship had sunk papavan is all right he has been to his home and found the mess from the fight so he corners the rat and snarls what's going on there's my wife and my babies there's my family gun uriah denies knowing but begins to perspire when out pops siegfried screaming
