Oh mesure le Kiki is a very fine cat With a tiny little head and a tiny party hat He sits very quietly on the television set, Oh Monsieur Le Kiki Le Cat He ate a robin he ate a wren He ate a tufted tit mouse and then a wren again He’s stuffed with feathers like he was back then Oh Monsieur Le Kiki Le Cat ---

Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat The Cat of the Railway Train In the watches of the night I was always fresh and bright Every now and then I’d have a cup of tea With perhaps a drop of scotch while I was keeping on the watch Only stopping here and there to catch a flea They were fast asleep at Crewe and so they never knew That I was walking up and down the station They were sleeping all the while I was busy at Carlisle Where I met the station master with elation They might see me at Dumfries if I summoned the police If there was anything they ought to know about When they got to Gallowgate there they did not have to wait For Skimbleshanks would help them to get out! And he gives a wave of his long brown tail Which says “I’ll see you again! You’ll meet without fail on the Midnight Mail The Cat of the Railway Train!” ---

Now old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own, He had a yellow cat that wouldn’t leave his home, He tried and he tried to get that cat away, Gave it to a man going far away. But the cat came back, the very next day, The cat came back, they thought he was a goner, But the cat came back, just wouldn’t stay away. Now the man around the corner swore he’d kill the cat on sight, He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamites, He waited and he waited for the cat to come around, Ninety-seven pieces of the man is all they found. But the cat came back, the very next day, The cat came back, they thought he was a goner, But the cat came back, just wouldn’t stay away. ---

Crazy John, why you wanna go back again? Crazy John, talking with the desperate men? You have to be crazy, John, for taking those chances, When you could be lazy, John, just playing for dances. When you wade in the water, the people can’t see the old reflections. When you stand in the road, the people can’t read the old directions. When the people get lost, they start building a cross. Crazy John, I want to be crazy too. ---
