You may have seen some wonders
But we'll bet our Sunday hat
You haven't seen as big a one
As Johnny Doolan's cat
You needn't contradict us
If you do, you'll get us vexed
For we know there's not an equal
In this world or in the next
They say a cat has seven lives
But this has many more
And to our certain knowledge
It's already had its score
They've often tried to drown it
Or to kill it with a knife
But all in vain, for Doolan's cat
Will not depart this life!
(And it's still alive and prowling
Still alive and howling
Still alive and growling
Is Johnny Doolan's cat!)
And it's still alive and prowling (meow)
Still alive and howling (maow)
Still alive and growling (raow)
Is Johnny Doolan's cat (meow)
SCAT!
