The Ad-Dressing of Cats (UK 1981 / Musical "Cats")
guitar chords lyrics
You've heard of
Several kinds of cat
And my opinion now is that
You should need no interpreter
To understand our character
You've learned enough
To take the view
That cats are very much like you
You've seen us both
At work and games
And learnt about our proper names
Our habits and our habitat
But how would you
Address a cat?
So first
But how would you
Address a cat?
So first
Your memory I'll jog
And say a cat
Is not a dog
So first
Your memory I'll jog
And say a cat
Is not a dog
With cats
Some say one rule is true
Don't speak till you
Are spoken to
Myself, I do not hold with that
I say you should address a cat
But always keep in mind that he
Resents familiarity
You bow
And taking off your hat
Address him in
This form
"Oh, Cat!"
Before a cat will condescend
To treat you as a trusted friend
Some little token of esteem
Is needed, like a dish of cream
And you might now and then supply
Some caviar or Strassburg Pie
Some potted grouse or salmon paste
He's sure to have
His personal taste
And so in time you reach your aim
And call him
By his name
A cat's entitled to expect
These evidences of respect
So this is this
And that is that
And there's how you address a cat
A cat's entitled to expect
These evidences of respect
So this is this
And that is that
And there's how you address
A Cat
