By the end of the song they have built their huge
version of the oh, so familiar Mouse Trap Game, onstage
and right before our eyes.
NUTCRACKER
THE TIME HAS COME TO TAKE OUR STAND AND BUILD A TRAP TO CATCH OUR MAN
A SNARE TO TRAP AND CAGE A RAT!
SWEETIES
A TRAP TO CATCH AND CAGE A RAT!
MOTHER GINGER
PLEASE, TAKE MY HOOP, A BIT OF TWINE TOGETHER THEY COMBINE
A CLEVER COOP TO TRAP AND CAGE A RAT!
SWEETIES
A GUMBALL WOULD BE JUST THE THING
TO KNOCK THE SHOE TO KICK THE STRING TO DROP THE CAGE AND CATCH A RAT.
A LEMONDROP THAT GOES KERPLOP,
WILL TRIP THE SWITCH, TO START
TO DROP THE CAGE AND CATCH THE

THE BALL, RAT.
WE HAD BETTER BUILD IT BETTER,
WE HAD BETTER BUILD IT BETTER,
BETTER THAN WAS EVER BUILT BEFORE.
WE HAVE BUILT A BETTER TRAP.
WE HAVE BUILT IT IN A SNAP.
WE HAVE BUILT A TRAP SUPERIOR.
BUILT IT BETTER THAN WAS EVER BUILT BEFORE. BUILT A BETTER MOUSETRAP.
BUILT A BETTER MOUSETRAP.
TRAP THAT RAT!
