A CAT CATCH
Richard Brown (died 1710)

(1) We cats, when as-sem-bl'd at mid-night to-geth-er
For in-no-cent purr-ing, purr-ing
for in-no-cent purr-ing purr-ing
on moon shin-y wea-ther

(2)If dogs be in ken-nel all fast in their straw
WE march, and we meaw
meaw
meaw
with out scratch or a claw

(3)But if they sur-prize us and put us to flight
We fret, fret and we spit
fret, spit
spit, give a squall
SQUALL
and good night
