Australian action song for ages 0-6
Little Grey Mouse Song
A light, playful action song with squeaks, peeks and quick little mouse movements. It works well for small rooms, quieter movement and children who prefer joining in gently.
Watch Little Grey Mouse
Press play and copy the actions together. The repeated chorus makes it easy for toddlers to join before they know every word.
What age is this song for?
Written for children aged 0-6. Babies can respond to the beat, toddlers can copy one movement at a time, and preschoolers can sing and act out the repeated chorus. It is a playful song, not a lesson or therapy programme.
When should we play it?
Try it for small rooms, quieter movement and children who prefer joining in gently. One song lasts only a few minutes, so it can become a familiar cue without turning the whole routine into a production.

Intro
(squeak, squeak)
(hahaha)
(ready... let's goooo!)
Verse 1
Little grey mouse, tiptoe on the floor,
Nibble-nabble whiskers, peeking round the door.
Peek-out, peek-out, quiet as can be,
Nibble-nabble, giggle-nabble, come and follow me.
Chorus
Scurry, scurry, scurry, little grey mouse,
Nibble-nabble, nibble-nabble, all around the house.
Scurry, scurry, scurry, little grey friend,
Nibble-nabble, nibble-nabble, round the corner bend.
Verse 2
Little grey mouse, hiding in the hay,
Nibble-nabble whiskers, twitching all the day.
Dart-quick, dart-quick, under the chair,
Nibble-nabble, giggle-nabble, nobody knows you're there.
Action Break
Can you scurry like a mouse? (Scurry, scurry, scurry!)
Can you peek like a mouse? (Peek-out, peek-out!)
Can you nibble-nabble? (Nibble-nabble!)
Little grey mouse... here we go! (hahaha)
Verse 3
Little grey mouse, nibbling on a crumb,
Nibble-nabble whiskers, tapping like a drum.
Squeak-squeak, squeak-squeak, up on your toes,
Nibble-nabble, giggle-nabble, wiggle your nose.
Bridge
Shhh, the little grey mouse is curled up in his nest,
Tiny, tiny whiskers, and it's time to have a rest.
The moonlight is peeking, the house is still and deep,
And the little grey mouse is drifting off to sleep.
Nabble... nabble... nice and low,
Nabble... nabble... very, very slow.
Then up he pops, with a squeak and a spin,
Ready to nibble-nabble - let the fun begin!
Final Chorus
Scurry, scurry, scurry, little grey mouse,
Nibble-nabble, nibble-nabble, wave around the house.
Scurry, scurry, scurry, everyone can try,
Nibble-nabble, giggle-nabble, kids and mouse say hi!
Outro
Goodbye, little grey mouse!
Nibble-nabble, giggle-nabble...
Nibble-nabble, giggle-nabble...
(hahaha)
