Are 'mice' Electric
Ivor Biggun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello children, how do you do?
I've brought some friends to sing for you
Mein singing mice I've brought along
To sing ein little mousey song
So mein mouses don't be slow
Sing along und here we go

Can little mousey pull ze pud'
Yes we can it does us good
Do little mice have tiny dongs
Yes they're only one inch long
Zat's not much to wave about
It's more than you, you daft old c*nt

Stick to ze script boys

Why do mouseys sing so high
'Cause we're so fucking sore, that's why
Is it just 'cause you're so small
Yes we all have ... balls
Would you like to meet mein cat
No fuck off you silly old twat

Now zen boys, you'll never be as famous as Punky and Porky if you keep swearing

What do mouseys love to eat
Spotted dick and shredded wheat
In the pantry no-one sees
We piss in the jam and crap on the cheese
Now zen boys that's quite enough
Oh fuck off you dozy old poof

I'm beginning to lose mein temper!

Up your arse you ... old git
We'll fill your larder up with shit
We'll fight and fart and do as we please
We'll fuck in the bread-bin and steal your cheese

Scnitzel I am a silly goose
Mein pussycat has just got loose...

Go cat go! There is your favourite food... mouseburger





Auf wiedersehn children if you please
And as for the mouseys, hard cheese

Overall Meaning

The song "Are 'Mice' Electric" by Ivor Biggun is a comedic song about a man who has brought his singing mice along to entertain children. The song comprises of a dialogue between the man and the mice where the mice answer questions from the man. The song is an explicit and crass parody of children's songs, and its comedic nature lies in the mice's vulgar responses to the man's questions. The lyrics are deliberately crafted to appear innocent and child-friendly but contain hidden, sexual connotations and curse words.


The song starts with the man introducing himself and his singing mice to the audience, indicating that he has brought them to sing a little song. The man then begins to ask the mice questions, all of which have hidden sexual and vulgar connotations. At one point, the man asks whether the mice have tiny dongs, to which the mice respond positively, stating they are only one inch long. However, they also point out that this is still more than the man has. The song ends with the mice menacingly threatening the man with foul play and declaring the end of the show.


Overall, the song's humor lies in its subversive content, which features crude language and sexual innuendos disguised under the guise of a children's song.

When I first saw the title of this song,I thought it was a parody of G, Numan's 'Are Friends Electric?'. But it sounds more like a spoof of Father Abraham & the Smurf's 'Smurfing Song'. Hilairious nonetheless!
