Oh, deary, come and sit with me.
I've just made a pot of tea.
Just shoosh the cat, now there's a spot.
Here's your tea. Mind now, its hot.

So good to see you passing by
Give this yummy cake a try.
A napkin dear, you've got a crumb.
No, yes, right there. More, by your thumb.

Now, tell me everything that's new,
My visitors are very few.
Just move those newspapers a bit.
Make it easier to sit.

Now, what were we just talking bout?
I can't hear, dear. You'll have to shout.
Yes, yes the weather has been fine.
Mm, ummm. Yes, the cat is mine.

No, no.. Bad kitty. Sorry dear.
He's just so used to sitting there.
Try a crumpet. Here's some jam.
What's that, dear? The cat? It's Damn.

Can't hear. It's gonna rain?
Um. Sorry dear, yes, a funny name.
A neighbor from an upstairs flat,
Said, "How bout I give you this damn cat?"

Damn cat, get down! He's spilled your plate.
Forgive me dear. It's getting late?
Oh, must you go? You're on your way?
Well, stopping by has made my day.

Just bend a bit. Bit more. Oh there.
I've got him. Damn cats off your hair.
Bye, bye. Yes, just shut the door.
Wish she could have stayed some more.

Here kitty kitty, want some tea?
Come and sit over here with me.
Yes, you are a good damn cat.
But must you treat our guest like that?
