Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I set the plate down, hear the floorboards tap
Little paws above me doing that crackle-pop clap
The cats in the hallway got a hair-bristle fit
My niece said, “Auntie, do you hear that—what is it?”
[Pre-Chorus]
It goes skitter-skatter
Right over my head
I pull the quilt up
And stare at the bed
[Chorus]
Ceiling squirrel, ceiling squirrel
(turn it down, turn it down)
Ceiling squirrel, ceiling squirrel
(running the whole town)
He steals our rest
He steals our peace
Ceiling squirrel, ceiling squirrel
Won’t you let us sleep?
[Verse 2]
Morning in the kitchen, there’s a thump and a thud
Chasing little trouble where the plaster’s all rubbed
One cat on the windowsill, one cat on the stair
My niece in her pajamas with her hands in her hair
[Pre-Chorus]
It goes skitter-skatter
Around the lamp glow
We say, “Now hush up”
But it says, “No-no-no”
[Chorus]
Ceiling squirrel, ceiling squirrel
(turn it down, turn it down)
Ceiling squirrel, ceiling squirrel
(running the whole town)
He steals our rest
He steals our peace
Ceiling squirrel, ceiling squirrel
Won’t you let us sleep?
[Bridge]
When the supper dishes shine and the house goes still
There he is above us with a mischievous thrill
We tiptoe soft, then we bust out laughing
Even mad and tired, he keeps on clapping
[Final Chorus]
Ceiling squirrel, ceiling squirrel
(turn it down, turn it down)
Ceiling squirrel, ceiling squirrel
(running the whole town)
He steals our rest
He steals our peace
Ceiling squirrel, ceiling squirrel
Won’t you let us sleep?
Ceiling squirrel, ceiling squirrel
(turn it down, turn it down)
Ceiling squirrel, ceiling squirrel
We’ll get you somehow
Until that day
We’ll shout and squeal
Ceiling squirrel, ceiling squirrel
You’re our nightmare meal
