Ha! Ha! Said The Cat

Ha! Ha! Said the cat, has the fox lost his rat
Is the night being tight on rodents?
Ha! Ha! Said the cat, is it making you sad
That you've lost your chance?

Walking slow, nose down low, sniff a trace of prey
Hear the birds, smell a vole and a mouse in the hedge
In a whirl, run up close with a glint in my eye
Never thought I'd be caught right down by the edge.

In the shade, how they played to the sound of the wind
Ducking low, sweating brow I am only paws and claws
Wonder how will taste the mouse when already I am pinned
On my back, what the heck, Cat is making me pause.

Ha! Ha! Said the cat, has the fox lost his rat
Is the night being tight on rodents?
Ha! Ha! Said the cat, is it making you sad
That you've lost your chance?



(to the melody of "Ha! Ha! Said The Clown" by Manfred Mann)
