Lyrics
We are Siameeiz if you pleeiz
We are Siameeiz if you don’t please
We are former residents of Siam
There are no finer cat than we am
Chorus
We are Siamese with very dainty claws
Please observing paws containing dainty claws
Now we lookin’ over our new domicile
If we like we stay for maybe quite awhile
Chorus
Who is that who’s living in that wire house?
It must be a bird because it’s not a mouse
If we sneakin’ up upon it carefully
There will be some bird for you and some for me
Chorus
So you seeing that thing swimmin’ ’round and ’round?
Maybe we could reaching in and make it drown
If we sneakin’ up upon it carefully
There will be a head for you a tail for me
