What you are after may be Uncle Dave Macon's 'Gray Cat on the Tennessee Farm'. You will find the lyrics in the songs by Uncle Dave Macon thread.

Uncle Dave songs.

I know this one to the tune of Brighton Camp (The Girl I Left Behind Me).

Oh the black cat piddled in the white cat's eye
And the white cat said "Gor blimey!"
And the black cat said "If you don't like that,
You shouldn't stand right behind me!"

Is it a version of that?

Sung with a Scottish accent:

Oh, the black cat piddled in the white cat's eye,
The white cat said "Gor Blimey!"
Oh the black cat said "You silly fool,
Ye shouldna' stand behind me!"

Sung by Frank Scaglioni 40 years back, as near as I can remember it.
