| Lyrics: | A long, long time ago,
In the land of idiot boys,
There live a cat, a phenomenal cat,
Who loved to wallow all day.
No one bothered him
As he sat, content in his tree.
He just lived to eat 'cause it kept him fat,
And that's how he wanted to stay.
Though he was big and fat,
All the world was good to him,
And he pointed out on
the map
All the places he had been.
[Cathage,Karthom,Cannes?], [India,Sardinia?],
Kathmandu,
The Scilley Isles and Sahara, too
Fum, fum, diddle-um di
La la la la,
la-la la la
La la la la, la-la la la la
La la la la-la la la
Once when he was
thin
He had flown to old Hong Kong,
And had learned the secret of life,
And the sea
and the sky beyond.
So he gave up his diet and sat in a tree,
And ate himself through
eternity.
Fum, fum, diddle-um di
La la la la la-la la la
La la la la, la-la la
la la
La la la la-la la la
Fum, fum, diddle-um di
Fum, fum, diddle-um di |
