I: We Cats when assembled at Midnight together,
for innocent Purring, Purring, for innocent Purring,
purring, in Moonshiney weather.
II: If Dogs be in kennel, all fast in their straw,
we march, and we meaw, meaw, meaw
whitout scratch or a claw.
III: But if they suprise us, and put us to flight,
we fret, fret, and we spit, fret fret, spit, spit,
give a squall, squall and good.
