I want to eat some -- thing cool __ _

like a tur -- tle on a biscuit.

Per -- haps I could make some gruel __ _

for that cat to eat to -- night.

Per -- haps gruel __ _ would be nice __ _

for that cat, and for it's price. __ _

It is made of oat -- meal, too.

But cats __ _ aren't made of oat -- meal.

Gruel is made of oat -- meal, yes.

But it is not __ _ made for cats.

I think the cat would like to eat

lots of meat; fresh, nice and sweet.

I think cats, they like to eat

bugs that crawl with six or eight feet.

Creep -- y crawl -- y lit -- tle bugs. __ _

Crunch -- y, snack -- y lit -- tle bugs. __ _

Why do cats eat all the bugs?

I thought they al -- so ate some mice.

Why do cats eat all the bugs?

When there are love -- ly tast -- y mice?

}

lyricsC = \lyricmode {

\set stanza = #"3. "

Have you thought what cats could cook __ _

if they'd hands in -- stead of feet?

Have you thought of what they cook __ _

with their tails and just two feet.

Could the cats __ _ taste it all __ _

with -- out sweet -- ness on their tongue? __ _

What would cats cook for the chic?

If they __ _ cooked an -- _ y -- thing?

Would bugs be on the me -- nu?

Or would we be stuck eat -- ing mice?

}

lyricsD = \lyricmode {

\set stanza = #"4. "

Have you e -- ver thought of eat -- ing

mouse pa -- té or may -- be flank?

Have you e -- ver thought of mak -- ing

lots of things stuffed in a steak?

I once thought I'd eat it all, __ _

an -- y -- thing and none at all. __ _

Would you eat an -- y -- thing made

by love -- ly cats with their sharp claws?

Would you eat an -- y -- thing made,

if they made you some -- thing to eat?
