Lyrics:
I love my little cat, I do,
With soft black silky hair;
It comes with me each day to school
And sits upon the chair;
When teacher says “Why do you bring
That little pet of yours?”
I tell her that I bring my cat
Along with me because:
chorus:
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow!
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow!
I've got a little cat,
And I'm very fond of that,
But I'd rather have a bow-wow,
Wow, wow, wow, wow
We used to have two tiny dogs,
Such pretty little dears!
But daddy sold 'em 'cause they used
To bite each other's ears;
I cried all day, at eight each night,
Papa sent me to bed;
When Ma came home and wiped my eyes,
I cried again and said:
I'll be so glad when I get old,
To do just as I “likes”,
I'll keep a parrot and at least
A half a dozen tykes;
And when I've got a tiny pet,
I'll kiss the little thing;
Then put it in its little cot,
And on to it I'll sing:
