A cat upon a hot tin roof Danced with a cow that raised a hoof And asked if the cat would marry her And all the cat would say is Purr!
The farmer hearing such a din Upon his roof said it was a sin That animals would behave this way Upon his roof in the heat of the day
He called his wife to see the fuss But she had left for town upon the bus So he chased them off by grabbing a broom Round the yard and into a room
Where the cat meowed and the Cow did Moo And the farmers screamed Shoo, shoo, shoo Until at last he got them out And then let go with a victory shout
The Cat sprung back on the roof outside The cow followed after, where else could it hide And the farmers rushing out from being inside Just sat down and he cried and he cried.
His wife came home she had bought a fiddle She gave it to the cat and asked it a riddle The cat just laughed in a catty kind of way The cow then asked if the cat could play
At that the cat played such a wonderful tune That the cow then said it was over the moon The farmers' dog laughed at all this fun And the farmer collapsed from too much sun.
