It consists of acrobatics along with soft dancing.

 

When nights are getting longer
And lakes will freeze to ice
Mother Mouse warns strongly
About a foul device:
" We must avoid the mouse trap
But there is naught to fear
We'll all be celebrating
At Christmas time this year "

Mother Mouse is busy
She is a tidy soul
She'll clean the walls and ceiling
In this cosy little hole.
As young mice dance a polka 
Their tails sweep out the place
A grubby house at Christmas 
Is a positive disgrace.

And finally the evening 
The youngsters all await 
They know they'll have permission 
To stay up very late
A toe-less boot is spruced up 
With nails that they have found
And then some flimsy cobwebs 
Which they can drape around

Father Mouse now tells them 
That they should form a ring 
"Let's dance around this old boot 
And hear our Granny sing 
Each mouse should use its right paw 
To take its neighbour's tail
Then listen as Old Granny 
Sings a lovely Fairy tale"

A tasty hazel nut will make 
A splendid Christmas feast 
A rather tiny tidbit 
But that is not the least
There's sticky candy paper 
A spicy Yuletide Ham
They all can savour its bouquet 
And taste some apple jam

Old Granny's Christmas Present 
Is a brand-new rocking chair
A hollowed-out potato, 
Which her kin have gnawed with flair 
Now Granny starts her singing 
The youngsters sing along
They always love to join her 
In their favourite Christmas song

Old Granny's getting tired 
Soon comes the early dawn
As morning is approaching 
She cannot help but yawn:
" Christmas is a lot of fun 
For each and every mouse
Be careful of the mouse-traps 
In this trap infested house."

The Father Mouse says, gravely, 
"It's time to take a nap
Just dream about the Yuletide 
And not that awful trap"
While Father Mouse is keeping watch 
The children try to sleep 
They hum some Christmas carols 
Instead of counting sheep
