Lullabies for Seamus

1. Model          (tune: G&S's)

You are the very model of a quite complacent pussycat:
Your fur's a tad elongated, your belly is a little fat,
          Your purr is very audible,
          You roll into a body-ball,
You are the very model of a quite complacent pussycat!

You are the mighty hunter in the jungle of the living room;
Your speed can vary sharply from an amble to a lightning zoom;
          Your audacity’s incredible:
          You think MY food is edible,
And stick your mouth between my face and what I have upon my spoon!

You let me pet you gently, then you grab me and you want to fight;
You settle down along my side, and cuddle there all through the night;
          You gaze out at the critters, then
          You get a case of jitters, an’
You run across our bellies, waking both of us with quite a fright!

[repeat first verse]

2. Pretty Kitty          (tune: Coming Round the Mountain)

You're a pretty little kitty, yes you are;
You're a pretty little kitty, yes you are;
          You are such a pretty kitty
          I must sing a little ditty
About what a pretty kitty cat you are:

Your fur is proud and tumble-dried and long;
Your purr is loud and rumble-like and strong;
          It is really not a hassle
          That you have to have a wrassle
Every time I want to sleep or sing a song!

You strop against my legs each time you pass;
You try to fight the “Rocky“s through the glass;
          Your teeth and claws are brambles;
          But when lights turn off, WHO scrambles
Like the demon-dogs of hell were on his ***?

You're a brave and fearless fellow, yes you are;
You're a brave and fearless fellow, yes you are;
          You're a brave and fearless fellow —
          Who could ever call you “yellow”?! —
You're a brave and fearless fellow, yes you are!

Rest in peace, Seamus, facing east. After night comes the dawn....
