The Ad-dressing Of Cats Lyrics - Cats

You've heard of several kinds of cat 

And my opinion now is that 

You should need no interpreter 

To understand our character 

You've learned enough to take the view 

That cats are very much like you 

You've seen us both at work and games 

And learnt about our proper names 

Our habits and our habitat 

But how would you ad-dress a cat 

So first, your memory I'll jog 

And say, "A cat is not a dog" 

So first, your memory I'll jog 

And say, "A cat is not a dog"

With cats, some say, "One rule is true 

Don't speak 'til you are spoken to" 

Myself I do not hold with that 

I say, "You should ad-dress a cat 

But always bear in mind that he resents familiarity" 

You bow and taking off your hat 

Ad-dress him in this form, "O Cat" 

Before a cat will condescend 

To treat you as a trusted friend 

Some little token of esteem 

Is needed like a dish of cream 

And you might now and then supply 

Some Caviar or Strauss burg pie 

Some potted grouse or salmon paste 

He's sure to have his personal taste 

And so in time you reach your aim 

And call him by his name
