English term or phrase: Cats are pissing.
I'm trying to get the words to a song that my Grandma sang in Italian. The words to the song are: Listen! Listen! Cats are pissing. Where, where? Under the chair. Quick Pop, get the gun. Ah, shucks! Too late. They're all done.
Please note: The word Pop means father or dad. I would love to have the words to this song in Italian but on-line translators gave me a translation that made no sense. The wording must be a little tricky because the translators/dictionaries seemed to take the words in the wrong context. This is a very silly song that I would love to have the words to so that I could keep my Grandmother's memory alive. If you could translate the entire song into Italian, I would really appreciate it. Thanks for your help.

v.s. Explanation:
Senti, senti! I gatti stanno facendo la pipì. Dove, dove? Sotto la sedia. Presto papà, prendi il fucile. Ah! Dannazione! Troppo tardi. L'hanno fatta tutti.
