The Cat Came Back (song)

The Cat Came Back

Lyrics

1 - 2, a zooba zooba zoo...

Oh old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own
He had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave its home;
He tried and he tried to give the cat away,
He gave it to a man goin' far, far away.

But the cat came back the very next day,
Oh, the cat came back, yeah, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; he just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, ay

Can you make a cat sound? Meow! Meow! Meow!

So he gave it to a woman going up in a balloon,
He told her for to take it to the man up in the moon;
The balloon came down about ninety miles away,
And where the woman is now, well I cannot say!

But the cat came back the very next day,
Yeah, the cat came back, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; he just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yay

There's that cat sound: Meow! Meow! Meow!

So he gave it to a man going way out West,
He told him for to take it to the one he loved the best;
First the train hit the track, then it jumped the rail,
And nobody was left to tell the awful tale.

But the cat came back the very next day,
Oh, the cat came back, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; he just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, ay

The cat came back the very next day,
Oh, the cat came back, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; he just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, ay

Meow!

Teddy Bear's Picnic (song)

Joanna - try to learn this song!

Teddy Bear's Picnic

Lyrics

If you go down in the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today
You'd better go in disguise!

For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain
Because today's the day the
Teddy Bears have their picnic

Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having
A lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday

See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout
They never have any cares
At six o'clock their Mommies and Daddies
Will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears

Every Teddy Bear who's been good
Is sure of a treat today
There's lots of marvelous things to eat
And wonderful games to play

Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
'Cause that's the way the
Teddy Bears have their picnic

Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having
A lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday

See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout
They never have any cares
At six o'clock their Mommies and Daddies
Will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears

A "lullaby" is a song for children that you sing before they go to bed. The most famous lullaby for bedtime is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.


Scintille, scintille, petite étoile,
Comment je me demande ce que vous êtes!
Au-dessus du monde si haut,

Comme un diamant dans le ciel.

**************************************

There is also a parody of this song written by Lewis Carroll.

Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you're at!
Up above the world you fly,
Like a tea tray in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you're at!



Scintille, scintille, petite chauve-souris!
Comme je me demande ce que tu es!
Au-dessus du monde que tu vole,
Comme un plateau de thé dans le ciel.
Scintille, scintille, petite chauve-souris!

Comme je me demande ce que tu es!
