I was frustrated by the lyrics posted elsewhere--I wanted them all on one page--anyway, they were inaccurate/misspelled/whatevs. Even one of the “official” on-screen words seems to be wrong. So, I took lyric transcription way too seriously:
The Kittyman Sea Shanty
There once was a cat with a hungry belly.
The name of the cat was “Whiskers Jelly.”
His throat was dry and his bowl was bare.
Meow, me furry cats, meow.
(NOTE: on-screen lyrics say “my” but the sound and mouth movement are “me”)
Soon may the kittyman come
with birds and mice and some tasty nums.
One day when the critters come
we'll eat 'til our bellies are full.
Well, Jelly got his boys and they gathered round.
They scattered seeds from a sack they found.
In hopes the seeds they spread on the ground
would bring small critters aboot.
Soon may the kittyman come
with birds and mice and some tasty nums.
One day when the critters come
we'll eat 'til our bellies are full.
Well, the gang was bored and morale had dipped
'til one of the seeds grew green catnip.
They sniffed and they snacked and they all got ripped.
They all had a meow that night.
Soon may the kittyman come
with birds and mice and some tasty nums.
One day when the critters come
we'll eat 'til our bellies are full.
Well, their heads were hung when the morn was nigh
the nip was strong and they all got high.
Their bellies were shrunk and their bowls still dry.
Oh, bring us some mice today.
Soon may the kittyman come
with birds and mice and some tasty nums.
One day when the critters come
we'll eat 'til our bellies are full.
