The Ad-Dressing of the Cats - The Theatreland Chorus[00:00:00]

Written by：Lloyd Webber/Eliot[00:00:01]

You've heard of several kinds of cat[00:00:03]

And my opinion now is that[00:00:08]

You should need no interpreter[00:00:13]

To understand our character[00:00:18]

You've learned enough to take the view[00:00:22]

That cats are very much like you[00:00:27]

You've seen us both at work and games[00:00:32]

And learnt about our proper names[00:00:37]

Our habits and our habitat[00:00:42]

But how would you ad-dress a cat[00:00:46]

So first your memory I'll jog[00:00:55]

And say a cat is not a dog[00:01:02]

Now dogs pretend they like to fight[00:01:16]

They often bark more seldom bite[00:01:21]

But yet a dog is on the whole[00:01:26]

What you would call a simple soul[00:01:31]

The usual dog about the town[00:01:36]

Is much inclined to play the clown[00:01:40]

And far from showing too much pride[00:01:45]

Is frequently undignified[00:01:50]

He's such an easygoing lout[00:01:55]

He'll answer any hail or shout[00:02:00]

The usual dog about the town[00:02:09]

Is inclined to play the clown[00:02:14]

Again I must remind you that[00:02:18]

A dog's a dog a cat's a cat[00:02:25]

With cats some say one rule is true[00:02:35]

Don't speak 'til you are spoken to[00:02:42]

Myself I do not hold with that[00:02:49]

I say you should ad-dress a cat[00:02:54]

But always bear in mind that he[00:02:59]

Resents familiarity[00:03:04]

You bow and taking off your hat[00:03:10]

Ad-dress him in this form o cat[00:03:18]

Before a cat will condescend[00:03:28]

To treat you as a trusted friend[00:03:33]

Some little token of esteem[00:03:37]

Is needed like a dish of cream[00:03:42]

And you might now and then supply[00:03:47]

Some caviar or strassburg pie[00:03:52]

Some potted grouse or salmon paste[00:03:57]

He's sure to have his personal taste[00:04:01]

And so in time you reach your aim[00:04:06]

And call him by his name[00:04:11]

So this is this and that is that[00:04:21]

And there's how you ad-dress a cat[00:04:27]

A cat's entitled to expect[00:04:34]

These evidences of respect[00:04:39]

So this is this and that is that[00:04:44]

And there's how you ad-dress a cat[00:04:50]
