In honor of this day, which many of us in the Northern U.S and Canada NEVER thought would arrive (after the winter we had last year), I bring to you a song I wrote and posted last summer. It is to be meowed or sung to the tune of Mungo Jerry's famous "In The Summertime." If you use your imagination, some of these guys actually LOOK like they could be CATS with all of their luxurious "furs!"
Without further adieu, I bring to you Cat Chat's version of
"In The Summertime, Cat-Style!!"
"purr purr-purr uh, purr purr-purr, uh
purr purr-purr, uh, purr purr-purr, uh..."
"In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right out and be on your favorite cot,
When the weather's fine
You got playing, you got romping on your mind
Have some nip, have a climb
Go out and see what you can find"
"If her Daddy's rich, take her out for some filet,
If her Daddy's poor, just stay in and play,
Speed around the house,
really speed, really speeeed big time my friend,
When the sun goes down, you can make it
make it home before day's end"
"We're no threat, we kitties, we're not dirty, we're not mean
We love everybody, but we do as we please
When the weather's fine
We go fishing or go climbing up some trees
We're always happy
Life's for living, yeah that's our "felineosophy"
"Sing along with us, mew-mew-mew-mew-mew
purr-purr-purr-purr-purr yeah, we're hap-happy.......
mew-mew-mew-mew-mew...."
"Purr purr-purr, uh, purr purr-purr, uh
Purr purr-purr, uh, purr purr-purr, uh...."
"When the winter's here, yeah it's sleepy time
Bring a toy mouse
Wear your finest fur, it'll soon be summertime
And we'll sing again
We'll go jumpin' or maybe we'll settle down
If she's got "noms" or if she's got mice
Bring your kitty friends and we'll all go into town...."
Happy First Day Of Summer All!!
Remember, keep a fresh supply of water available at all times for your kitties, outdoor kitties take your flea meds!
Keep your kitties away from pools, lakes, BBQ's, fire pits, dangerous garden plants and other outdoor hazards.
Make This A Great Summer For You And Your Favorite Felines!!
Thanks to Mungo Jerry's "In The Summertime" for the inspiration for this parody.
