My pussycat sings his song to me.
He always sings at half past three.
He sings of tins of tuna fish,
And chicken pieces in a dish,
And when my pussycat's sung to me,
I go to get my pussycat's tea.

Chorus:
Always be kind to your pussycat,
Whatever he may do.
Your pussycat loves you and always will,
Your pussycat's faithful and true.

(With apologies to Dinah!)

I like a tabby cat for breakfast,
I like a tabby cat for tea,
But what I'd like, I think,
Is a long cool tabby drink,
So please squeeze a juicy tabby cat for me.

I like a tabby cat for breakfast,
I like a tabby cat for tea,
But what I like the most
Is tabby cat on toast,
So please save a toasted tabby cat for me.

I like a tabby cat for breakfast,
I like a tabby cat for tea,
But I really like to munch
On a tabby cat for lunch,
So please save a crunchy tabby cat for me.

I like a tabby cat for breakfast,
I like a tabby cat for tea,
But the taste that is a winner
Is a tabby cat for dinner,
So please roast a tasty tabby cat for me.

Tabbies are furry,
Tabbies are fun.
I'll have my tabby
On a sesame-seed bun.
