BTW, one of the kids down the street still makes me play Hildebrand's Sooty the cat song whenever she comes over. She likes to sing the "One Two Three Four Five" part really loud and stamp her feet.
We do sing verses about Inky the cat killing mice (one two three four five of them of course) and how we'd wish he'd be 'nice' but I haven't actually written those verses down. I should. we keep changing it up. There's also verses about Greenie the bird and her babies who just happen to be five in number. Greenie is a Lesser Goldfinch (who is mostly green) who hangs around our yard eating maxamillian sunflower seeds. She just came into the song last month.
Oh how we love this song in West Hollywood! I think some of the neighbors dfind it a tad annoying since it gets sung often and repetatively but, we don't care!
