Jerry’s on his holidays So Tom‘s left all alone Maybe Spike would be his friend But Tom can’t find a bone That great big sleeping bulldog Often dreams of roasted cat If Tom Cat wants to be his friend… Well, best of luck with that So Tom tapped Spike’s left shoulder Then he yelped an awful cry Tom’s tail was chomped and that’s what’s meant By ‘Let sleeping dogs lie.’
