I knew the scansion seemed familiar. I've heard similar at a Filk convention, and just dug out the tape, for an amusing parody. Nigel BELLA CHOW Lyrics: Cynthia McQuillin Tune:trad. We have kitties, and when they're hungry They bellow "meow," bellow "meow," bellow "meow, meow, meow!" We have kitties, and when they're hungry They really let us know. They leap upon us and lick our fingers And bellow "meow," bellow "meow," bellow "meow, meow, meow!" They leap upon us and lick our fingers, How shamelessly they plead. Out in the kitchen where all the food is They bellow "meow," bellow "meow," bellow "meow, meow, meow!" Out in the kitchen where all the food is They pace the floor and howl. The hungry kitties have stopped complaining No bellow "meow," bellow "meow," bellow "meow, meow, meow!" The hungry kitties have stopped complaining, We'd better find out why. We discover they've found the pot roast Bellow "meow," bellow "meow," bellow "meow, meow, meow!" We discover they've found the pot roast That we left out to thaw. We'll order pizza from our favourite restaurant Bellow "meow," bellow "meow," bellow "meow, meow, meow!" We'll order pizza from our favourite restaurant, A place called "Bella Chow!"
