Tom sings
I’m just a homely pussy cat
look-after-home and mat;
watch out for dirty mice
and give them a warm welcome
on the red carpet of tongue
Jerry sings
I’m just a nicey, nicey mouse
harmless, and just with my
own corner in this big wide world;
and all I need r
just a teeny-weeny bit of cheese
and a bit of scrap here and there
Tom sings
Ah, I’ve sharpened my claws
and been to the cat-kill-mice dentist;
I’ve used dental floss
and cleaned my tongue
got scent for my mouth
and just the right touch of deodorant
just so to give a fragrant welcome
to that smelly rodent!
And – yes - I’ve got the speed of wheels in my legs:
and here I’ll wait
cool and suave, leaning against the chair –
blowing at my finger-nails;
ah, I’ll wait like a cunning thief in the dark
waiting for that stupid mouse!
Jerry comes out…
Tom chases Jerry
Jerry runs;
Tom slips on wet patch on tiles
knocks over vase
vase breaks
and big fat mistress comes
and knocks Tom on his head:
Jerry leans against foot of chair,
blowing at finger-nails…
Tom Sings (sadly)
Oh, I’m faster than a panther
but that stupid rodent’s faster than lightning;
Oh, I’m as cunning as a fox
but that Jerry’s as skilful as a kung-fu master…
…and my head! …and my poor head!
Jerry sings (sadly)
Oh, poor Tom -
mistress broke his head;
now he’ll be out of action
for at least half-an-hour:
but poor me –
where ‘m I going to get my fun
during those long thirty minutes?
