Maurice the mole chatted to a garden gnome,
 D            E         A                E
"it's no fun being the mayor on you're own"
           A                        D              E
"And I've dug all the tunnels and I made all the holes
D                         E         A
What I really need are a few more moles",

  D
"It's no good talking to him" a voice said
   A
A dangley voice up above his head
 D
"I can't see very well", said Maurice "who's that?"
  E
"Neither can I" said Boris "I'm a bat"


[Verse 3]
            A                    D                E
"If you're looking for moles you won't be waiting long,
 D                 E          A            E
Loads of them will be here a little later on
       A                 D                E
For a rescue mission to try to save some mice
          D                                 E              A    E E6 E    A
they're trapped beneath the rockery", said Maurice "tha's nice",

Montague, Murgatroyd, Mauritius went down,
    D                 E          A                E
he bravely lead the other moles underneath the ground
                A                              D               E
And with their digging and their delving they freed them in a trice
 D                             E         A
"Hoorah for the moles" said the rescued mice


[Bridge]
D
"Hoorah for our leader the mayor of Mole Town"
  A
Shouted the moles from underneath the ground
 D
"We love Mole Town and here we're going to stay"
    E
And Maurice the mole is the mayor to this day
