My Singing Pussy Cat

I had a little pussy cat That used to play a tune On a penny whistle As it sang to the moon. It wore stripey trousers With a funny hat That said it was king Of all the other cats. It had a best friend A little gray mouse They played hide and seek All around the house. It sent me a letter One sunny day To say it was leaving It was going away. I saw it on the tele Doing hand a stand As it sang the lead For a rock'n' roll band. I didn't buy another cat I got an alligator instead It plays the banjo And it sleeps on my bed. It wears a big muzzle Just so it can't bite So i can't be eaten In the middle of the night. So, Oh dear me Would you believe that And it all happened because I lost my singing pussy cat.

Ummm I hesitate to ask.. is the lil grey mouse still around, or did your new pet befriend it a lil too much ? Enjoyed your romp into fantasy land Terry, but you should have become the cat's manager before he left!
