drDave Elliott

Acoustic fingerstyle singer-songwriter; kind of a mashup of Leonard Cohen, Nellie McKay, Stuart Davis, Jason Mrasz, with a little Martin Simpson thrown in. Working on my CD, that I hope will be out this Spring: "The Suburban Book of the Dead."

Story behind the song

Love connects to everything

Lyrics

If you give a mouse a cookie
That's how it all begins
He'll want a plate, a glass of milk
And a place to eat them in.

If you give a mouse a cookie,
That's how the world began
When a snake gave Eve the Apple
She needed a new man

That's all it takes!
That's how it goes!
That's how the world began
With just a cookie and a mouse
  With just a woman and a man.

So that led to Adam
And a farm, which took some money 
There's your metal, paper, tractor 
Seeds and bees to make the honey 

And to run the farm took children
And the children needed houses
Which needed beds and kitchens
For new cookies, plates and mouses.	
If you give a mouse a cookie
Just a simple kindly deed 
Everything you start with leads to 
Something else you need.

That's all it takes!
That's how it goes!
That's how the world began
With just a cookie and a mouse
  With just a woman and a man.

If you give a girl a smile
That's how it all begins
You'll find her at your doorstep
With a backpack and a grin

She'll need a closet for the backpack
And a kiss to keep the grin
And soon she'll bake you cookies
And need a place to eat them in

That's all it takes!
That's how it goes!
That's how the world began
With just a cookie and a mouse
  With just a woman and a man.
