The Scrawny Cat (to the tune of Froggie went a courtin)

There was a big old scrawny cat, um hum, um hum
There was a big old scrawny cat, um hum
There was a big old scrawny cat
he wasn't fat 'cause he didn't eat rats, um hum, um hum, um hum

Little birds are nice to see, um hum, um hum
Little birds are nice to see, um hum
Little birds are nice to see
but I'd rather have them inside of me, um hum, um hum, um hum

A big black dog came to have some fun, um hum, um hum
A big black dog came to have some fun, um hum
A big black dog came to have some fun
but the cat hissed at him and made him run, um hum, um hum, um hum

Then the scrawny cat felt all alone, um hum, um hum
The scrawny cat felt all alone, um hum
The scrawny cat felt all alone,
he was sorry for everything he'd done, um hum, um hum, um hum

He called them up on his cell phone, um hum, um hum
He called them up on his cell phone, um hum,
He called them up on his cell phone
told the dog to come and bring his bone, um hum, um hum, um hum

You birds come back another day, um hum, um hum
You birds come back another day, um hum
You birds come back another day,
then you and the dog an I can play, um hum, um hum, um hum.
