so cat hiss, dog bark, who'd backed off--neither,
Fall takes a breather, this is July's marks,
who'd backed off--neither, so cat hiss, dog bark.

a Christmas tree lot, a rare sorta scene,
let's ask what they've got, what if they're closed, Irene?
Kids clinched, yes sweetheart, as dog barks, cat hiss,

as dog barks, cat hiss, kids clinched, yes sweetheart,
My Good sir and miss, 'tis keepsakes take part.
A buck for the small, twenty for the big,
we'll return when tall, a buck for that twig,
twenty for the big, a buck for the small,
a buck for that twig, we'll return when tall.
