Cat in the Hat lyrics

The sun did not shine

It was too wet to play

So we sat in the house

All that cold, cold, wet day

I sat there with Sally

We sat there, we two

And I said "How I wish

We had something to do!"

Too wet to go out

And too cold to play ball

So we sat in the house

We did nothing at all

So all we could do was to

Sit!

Sit!

Sit!

Sit!

And we did not like it

Not one little bit

*BUMP*

And then

Something went bump!

How that bump made us jump!

We looked!

Then we saw him step in on the mat!

We looked!

And we saw him!

The Cat in the Hat!

And he said to us

"Why do you sit there like that?"

"I know it is wet

And the sun is not sunny

But we can have

Lots of good fun that is funny!"

"I know some good games we could play,"

Said the cat

"I know some new tricks,"

Said the Cat in the Hat

"A lot of good tricks

I will show them to you

Your mother

Will not mind at all if I do."

Then Sally and I

Did not know what to say

Our mother was out of the house

For the day

But our fish said, "No! No!

Make that cat go away!

Tell that Cat in the Hat

You do NOT want to play

You should not be here

You should not be about

You should not be here

When your mother is out!"

"Now! Now! Have no fear

Have no fear!" said the cat

"My tricks are not bad,"

Said the Cat in the Hat

"Why, we can have

Lots of good fun, if you wish

With a game that I call

UP-UP-UP with a fish!"

"Put me down!" said the fish

"This is no fun at all!

Put me down!" said the fish

"I do NOT wish to fall!"

"Have no fear!" said the cat

"I will not let you fall

I will hold you up high

As I stand on a ball

With a book in one hand!

And a cup on my hat!

But that is not ALL I can do!"

Said the cat...

"Look at me!

Look at me now!" said the cat

"With a cup and a cake

On the top of my hat!

I can hold TWO books!

I can hold up the fish!

And a little toy ship!

And some milk on a dish!

And look!

I can hop up and down on the ball!

But that is not all!

Oh, no

That is not all...

"Look at me!

Look at me!

Look at me NOW!

It is fun to have fun

From up there on the ball

And Sally and I

We saw ALL the things fall!

And our fish came down, too

He fell into a pot!

He said, "Do I like this?

Oh, no! I do not

This is not a good game,"

Said out fish as he lit

"No, I do not like it

Not one little bit!"

"Now look what you did!"

Said the fish to the cat

"Now look at this house!
