作曲 : T.S. Eliot & Andrew Lloyd Webber | |
You've heard of several kinds of cat | |
And my opinion now is that | |
You should need to interpreter to understand our character | |
You've learned enough to take the view | |
That cats are very much like you | |
You've seen us both at work and games | |
And learnt about our proper names | |
Our habits and our habitat | |
But how would you ad - dress a cat | |
So first, your memory I'll jog | |
And say: A cat is not a dog | |
So first, your memory I'll jog | |
And say: A cat is not a dog | |
With cats, some say, one rule is true | |
Don't speak 'till spoken to | |
Myself I do not hold with that | |
I say, you should ad - dress a cat | |
But always bear in mind that he resents familiarity | |
You bow, and taking off your hat, ad - dress him in this form "O Cat"! | |
Before a cat will condescend | |
To treat you as a trusted friend | |
Some little token of esteem is needed, like a dish of cream | |
And you might now and then supply | |
Some caviar or Strassburg pie | |
Some potted grouse or salmon paste | |
He's sure to have his personal taste | |
And so in time you reach your aim | |
And call him by his name | |
A cat's entitled to expect | |
These evidences of respect | |
So this is this and that is that | |
And there's how you ad - dress a cat | |
A cat's entitled to expect these evidences of respect | |
So this is this, and that is that | |
And there's how you ad - dress a cat |
