Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
Wiggle your bottom around

and howl like Huckleberry clown
Scratch your head like a monkey

Turn around and down you fall
Then you're doing...

When you're a cat
You do as you please
Take a bunch of naps
Climb a few trees
Rub on my ankle
And make me sneeze
Life is like that
When you're a cat.

And everybody goes
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty cat

Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty cat

When you're a cat
You're covered in fur
Tummy full of milk
Makes you purr
You dream about fishes, mice and birds
Life is like that
When you're a cat.

Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
