Wouldn't it be great if Pied Pipers were real?

To try to cheer myself up with all the mouse trouble, I wrote a parody of Sixty-Minute Man. The original is a pretty trashy song, I think, but I adore the parodies Sixty-Second Man and Creepy Criminal. And the tune is always getting stuck in my head. So I took the lyrics of the original song and re-wrote them to be about a Pied Piper who charms and sings to and pets the creatures and gets them out of people's houses within a minute. The arrangement is the one Rockapella uses, which I read is one they got from The Persuasions.

If your house is filled with mice,
Come see old Piper Dan
I'll rock 'em, roll 'em all day long
I'm a sixty-second man

If you don't believe I'm all I say,
Come up; I'll tell my plan
Then I'll have you cry "Oh yeah!"
I'm a sixty-second man

There'll be fifteen seconds of charmin'
They'll say "Danny, Danny, please don't stop!"
Fifteen seconds of singin',
Fifteen seconds of pettin',
Fifteen seconds of them blowin' their tops

If your house ain't sealed up tight
Come see old Piper Dan
I'll rock 'em, roll 'em all day long
I'm a sixty-second man

Sixty-second man
Gotta please 'em
That's the plan
I'll rock 'em, roll 'em all day long
I'm a sixty-second man

There'll be fifteen seconds of charmin'
They'll say "Danny, Danny, please don't stop!"
Fifteen seconds of singin',
Fifteen seconds of pettin',
Fifteen seconds of them blowin' their tops

If your house ain't sealed up tight
Come see old Piper Dan
I'll rock 'em, roll 'em all day long
I'm a sixty-second man

Charm 'em charm 'em
Pet 'em pet 'em
All day long
I'm a sixty-second man
