Tea Rat: Cheese and crackers! There's a real Blakenrosentauber, a criminal no less? I just made up the disguise to get an audition for Miss Moussie's new show.Mozes: Miss M., what do you want me to do? I'm guided by you here.
Miss M.: Well...Tea Rat's masquerade was good enough to get him past SMASH, and good acting is, after all, what we're looking for. Also, he has been our most devoted supporter. OK THEN. My dear Tea Rat, I have just the part for you in my show. Mind you, it's only a teeny, tiny part.
Tea Rat: Anything, anything. You won't forget it. I mean, beget it. I mean, you won't regret it.

Kidnapped the fair Princess, her honor to scale.

maimed cruelly his body, a set him to wail.

He escaped his tormentor and resu-med his grail.
♪ ♫..Yet, should love ever find them, would love-lone avail?
For he was now and forever a Mouse without a tail..♪ ♫.
Hurrumph...
♪ ♫..Ohh, Mozes of SMASH pay attention with ardor.
The felon you seek's not to port nor to starboard.
He haveth the gall in this theatre to harbor.
Front row center, the rouge Blakenrosentauber.♪ ♫.

♪ ♫..But his love for his lady kept him vim and in hale.♪ ♫..
"Oh, Tea Rat, that was a brave thing you did."
♪ ♫..Yet, should love ever find them, would love-lone avail?
"Miss M. whatever are you doing here? Is this heaven?"
