This is the story

'bout Perry who came home

late one night!

Must have been about a

two or three am,

something like that!

Gotta get me some sleep,

he yawned as he turned out the light!

Haaw!

I guess I was too tired to do any reading!

Whether he dreamed what happened,

or if he really heard it,

he wouldn't bet

but he swears it sounded like two cats

singin' a duet!

Come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten

This is me, your boyfriend "Tom" ( N'yot N'yow! )

Ah! come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten

This is old Tom, "Tom" the atom-bomb! ( N'yot N'yow! )

We assure you we'd come y'out

if only we knew how

They tell us that you really are

the cat's "MEOW"!

Ah! come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten

Now? ( N'yot N'yow! ) Oh!

Come y'out, come y'out,

come y'out our croonin' kitten

We will serenade the moon! N'yot N'yow!

Come y'out, come y'out,

come y'out our little kitten

We will sing a little tune! N'yot N'yow!

When the folks got home tonight at twelve or thereabout

They locked the door and they forgot to put me-owt!

Oowah! "Alone from night to night you'll find me!"

Come y'out, come y'out,

come y'out our croonin' kitten

Mee-owh! Heh heh

OK, now!
