We are Siamese if you please,
we are Siamese if you don't please.
Now we lookin' over our new domicile,
if we like we stay for maybe quite awhile.

Do you seeing that thing swimming 'round and 'round? Yes!
Maybe we could reaching in and make it drown!
If we sneaking up upon it carefully,
there will be a head for you, a tail for me.

Do you hear what I hear? A baby cry!
Where we finding baby, there are milk nearby.
If we look in baby buggy, there could be,
plenty milk for you and also some for me.

(Different verse)
We are Siamee-iz if you plee-iz,
we are Siamee-iz if you don't please.
We are former residents of Siam,
there are no finer cats than we am.

We are Siamese with very dainty claws,
please observing paws containing dainty claws.
Now we lookin' over our new domicile,
if we like we stay for maybe quite a while.

There are two means of refuge
from the miseries of life... music and cats

Didja know...

? ? ?

that the catgut formerly used as strings in tennis rackets and musical instruments does not come from cats? Catgut actually comes from sheep, hogs, and horses.

? ? ?

that a group of youngsters is called a kindle;
the old-timers form a clowder?

? ? ?

that a cat lover is an ailurophile, while
a cat hater is an ailurophobe?
