This song was written in response to events in episode 10 of season 2 of the 'Dice to Meet You' podcast, online at dicetomeetyou.com/2017/04/21/s02e10-squirrel-scuffle/ , and was recorded during the following episode.

lyrics

Now, Mouse Grouse went to Hog Wild.
He was looking for a gift,
For his dating pal Nightwhisper,
Which he vowed not to shoplift.
Now, don't do crimes,
'Cause crimes are bad.

Ms. Squirrel was eyeing his purchase,
taking interest in what he paid.
He told her not to steal,
And he showed her his knife's blade.
Said, "Now, don't do crimes,
'Cause crimes are bad."

CHORUS:
Now I've used my knifes performing heists,
But I won't, no more.
I'm gonna miss those capers in the time to come,
When the heart door is wide open, and someone has claimed the prize,
I'm gonna think about the days that I snuck around
and I stabbed some fools.
I'm gonna miss those capers, now I know that crimes are bad.

Now Ms. Squirrel followed him to Heart City,
and she said to apologize.
She accused him of shoplifting,
But Grouse said, "Damn your eyes.
I don't do crimes,
'Cause crimes are bad."

Ms. Squirrel, she threatened our hero.
She dealt him quite a blow.
But Grouse's knifes went 'snicker snack',
And the squirrel was on the floor,
'Cause she did a crime,
And crimes are bad.

[CHORUS]

Now the sheriff came to the scene,
And he seemed a bit distressed.
He said, "It's a tricky situation,
'Cause Ms. Squirrel, she's from Cineste,
and she did a crime,
and crimes are bad."

He said, "We might be in a pickle,
maybe even a barrelful.
'Cause when crimes occur 'cross city limits,
It becomes political,
Still, don't do crimes,
'Cause crimes are bad.

[CHORUS]
