Three Blind Mice

Three Blind Mice is a children's nursery rhyme.


Three blind mice.Three blind mice.
See how they run. See how they run.
They all ran after the farmer's wife
who cut off their tails with a carving knife.
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
as three blind mice?


Three blind mice was also used as a theme song for The Three Stooges.

The song has been banned from many ice hockey leagues, because it used to be played after a bad call by one of the three on-ice officials.

These is much speculation as to whether this song was written originally as a protest against the U.S. Government, each mouse representing a branch of government. No solid evidence exists to prove to disprove this theory.
