Praise to the Lord, who created both Geordies and Scousers!
Praise him for making thy housecats such excellent mousers!
He in his care
When thou hast nothing to wear
Sendeth thee new pairs of trousers.

Do "Scousers" and "mousers" have /z/ in the middle, then? I would have expected /s/ for both. But then I've never heard either one spoken.

No, both are /s/— this is pretty much what amused me about it.
