Lyrics
Next door there lives a big black cat who sits each day on my front porch mat.
an o mu sic makes him purr.
Soon he’s a sleep ing ball of fur.
Hav ing fun in the sun, drink ing warm milk on pil lows of silk.
But the one thing he likes best is hav ing the pi an o sing!
He does not care if it is Bach or rock and roll a round the clock.
pret ty tones are what he hears, he’s filled with lots of cheer!
Me ow!
Me ow!
Me ow!
