Fingermouse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fingermouse is the name of a British children's television programme made by the BBC in 1985. The first episode was broadcast on November 4, 1985 on BBC1. The eponymous star was a paper finger puppet in the form of a mouse, who would play various musical instruments with the help of Iain Lauchlan, called the Music Man. Fingermouse also went adventuring outside, interacting with other paper puppets.
The Fingermouse character originated in the earlier 1970s show Fingerbobs.
Each episode lasted fifteen minutes, and one series was made.

Fingermouse, Fingermouse, Fingermouse, Fingermouse
I am the mouse called Fingermouse
Fingermouse that's me
I'm a musical paper mouse
As anyone can see
I can play drums - look
I can play keys
I am the mouse called Fingermouse
Fingermouse that's me
I can play woodwind
I can play string
I can play just about anything
I can play this
I can play that
Anything at the drop of a hat - see!
Oh, I'm the mouse called Fingermouse
Fingermouse that's me
Yes, I'm the mouse called Fingermouse
Fingermouse that's me!
