Shoo, Scat You Darn Cat,
As I walked a ' black cat crossed my path
I said shoo, I said scat
He stared, looking me in the eye
As if to ask me why.
It was as if to say "did the cat get your tongue'
I think he did, for his stare was quite long
I said shoo, I said scat
Get away from here you darn cat.
The more persistent his meowing became
Look cat I am not to blame
You live in the alley out back
I will say shoo, I will say scat.
I said shoo, I said scat
Go and find a rat
Quit meowing it's time for bed
Go and find your supper instead.
