There are snakes, snakes, snakes, 
As big as garden rakes 
At the store. At the store. 
There are snakes, snakes, snakes 
As big as garden rakes 
At the quatermaster, Quatermaster's Store. 

Chorus: 
My eyes are dim, I can not see 
I have not brought my specks with me. 
I have not brought my specks with me. 
There are mice, mice, mice,
Running through the rice.
At the store. At the store. 
There are mice, mice, mice,
Running through the rice
At the quatermaster, Quatermaster's Store.
There are rats, rats, rats,
As big as alley cats
At the store. At the store. 
There are rats, rats, rats,
As big as alley cats
At the quatermaster, Quatermaster's Store.
