Cat Dance
Once ‘twas a dreary day
Wandered across the street did she
A gypsy cat she run astray
To strike a match and catch some heat
Mountaintop catacombs
Find tomcat burn the daylight out
Rendezvous a dance rattle thee’s bones
With eyes closed silence rang about
Wandered to the top fair lady
Cats danced cemetery
Forget the mice go to elate-y
Forgetful sun down be wary
Cat lady gypsy grave
Run down sun down the joyous dance
With wild rags bare paws misbehave
The fattest mouse dare take a glance
