[00:04.40] | You've heard of several kinds of cat |
[00:09.80] | And my opinion now is that |
[00:14.57] | You should need no interpreter |
[00:19.61] | To understand our character |
[00:24.43] | You've learned enough to take the view |
[00:29.32] | That cats are very much like you |
[00:34.06] | You've seen us both at work and games |
[00:39.15] | And learnt about our proper names |
[00:44.10] | Our habits and our habitat |
[00:48.44] | But how would you address a cat? |
[00:58.22] | So first, you’ll memory I'll jog |
[01:04.98] | And say: A cat is not a dog |
[01:19.86] | Now dogs pretend they like to fight |
[01:24.71] | They often bark, more seldom bite |
[01:29.47] | But yet a dog is, on the whole |
[01:34.19] | What you would call a simple soul |
[01:38.95] | The usual dog about the town |
[01:43.79] | Is much inclined to play the clown |
[01:48.52] | And far from showing too much pride |
[01:53.70] | Is frequently undignified |
[01:58.61] | He's such an easy-going lout |
[02:03.28] | He'll answer any hail or shout |
[02:12.84] | The usual dog about the town |
[02:18.16] | Is much inclined to play the clown |
[02:22.57] | Again I must remind you that |
[02:29.18] | A dog's a dog, a cat's a cat |
[02:39.96] | With cats, some say one rule is true |
[02:46.93] | Don't speak 'til you are spoken to |
[02:55.21] | Myself I do not hold with that |
[03:00.04] | I say you should address a cat |
[03:04.72] | But always bear in mind that he |
[03:09.23] | Resents familiarity |
[03:16.30] | You bow, and taking off your hat |
[03:23.49] | Address him in this form: "O' cat!" |
[03:34.51] | Before a cat will condescend |
[03:38.85] | To treat you as a trusted friend |
[03:43.72] | Some little token of esteem |
[03:48.15] | Is needed, like a dish of cream |
[03:52.85] | And you might now and then supply |
[03:57.36] | Some caviar, or Strasburg pie |
[04:01.57] | Some potted grouse or salmon paste |
[04:06.53] | He's sure to have his personal taste |
[04:11.65] | And so in time you reach your aim |
[04:16.34] | And call him by his name |
[04:26.32] | So this is this, and that is that |
[04:33.78] | And there's how you address a cat |
[04:41.52] | A cat's entitled to expect |
[04:46.98] | These evidences of respect |
[04:51.18] | So this is this, and that is that |
[04:58.68] | And there's how you address a cat |
