Since I have been told to only put one song text per post (for searching purposes), here is the continuation of the comparison of "The Woodpecker Song" (recording) and "The Pussy Cat Song" (recording).
If you have had a chance to listen to both recordings, do you agree that the later song is derived from "The Woodpecker Song"?
Any help is appreciated.
Sincerely,
John Mehlberg

~THE PUSSY CAT SONG
My pussycat was scratching out on the back door
Scratched so long, poor pussy got sore
Sore pussy!
Sore...pussy
Just a friendly little cat!My pussycat was sitting out on the front step
Sat so long, poor pussy got wet
Wet pussy!
Sore...wet...pussy
Just a friendly little cat!My pussycat was playing out on the back lot
Played so long, poor pussy got hot
Hot pussy!
Sore...wet...hot....pussy
Just a friendly little cat!My pussycat was rocking in the rocking chair
Rocked so long, he lost his hair
Bald pussy!
Sore...wet...hot...bald...pussy
Just a friendly little cat!My neighbor and I are at the clothesline
I said to my neighbor, "Won't you look at mine?"
My pussy!
Sore...wet...hot...bald...pussy
Just a friendly little cat!My neighbor stole my kitty, but I did see
I said to my neighbor, "Set my pussy free!"
Free pussy!
Sore...wet...hot...bald...free...pussy
Just a friendly little cat!Here kitty kitty kitty kitty kitty
Awww, nice pussy!
(Meow)
Note: This is transcribed from the song as sung by Connie Vannett and originally issued on Gill's Records as a 45. It was later issued on the Raunchy Rock & Roll cd.
