Freda - Jake Thackray[00:00:01]
I used to lead a tranquil life unobtrusive[00:00:09]
And retired [00:00:13]
I used to do as I pleased my little sky[00:00:14]
Was blue and clear [00:00:17]
I used to eat my peas with my knife [00:00:22]
I went to bed when I felt tired [00:00:24]
I flatulated at my ease I changed[00:00:26]
My shirts twice a year [00:00:29]
Then one day a pussycat wandered into my flat [00:00:32]
And my existence hasn’t been the same [00:00:36]
A waif and a stray I couldn’t turn her away [00:00:40]
So I kept her and I gave her a name [00:00:44]
Yay yay yay yay [00:00:48]
I called her Freda my Freda sweet Freda [00:00:50]
Agreed that her breed would have[00:00:59]
Caused a stampede at the cat show at Kensington [00:01:02]
She’d got no need for good breeding :[00:01:06]
She’d quite enough pedigree for me [00:01:12]
Her gaze was melancholic and diffuse [00:01:20]
Her coat was lack-lustre and bare [00:01:22]
Her whiskers sparse her teeth were loose [00:01:24]
Her tail was never in the air [00:01:27]
I pandered to her every whim [00:01:33]
I sang to her on my guitar [00:01:35]
I fed her cream and fish and gin [00:01:37]
I took her to the cinema [00:01:40]
What sweet relief the day[00:01:43]
She ceased to be glum [00:01:45]
When she hoisted her tail on high [00:01:47]
And underneath she showed her[00:01:52]
Cheeky little bum[00:01:54]
Like a little pink moon in the sky ay ay ay ay [00:01:55]
Oh Freda sweet Freda dear Freda [00:02:03]
My pretty my kitty my own little[00:02:09]
Slap-happy Eros and Agape [00:02:13]
Freda dear Freda my Freda [00:02:17]
My darling my cara my paragon [00:02:22]
Those were the days of my joy [00:02:31]
I thought such bliss could never change[00:02:33]
But it was not without alloy my little puss[00:02:35]
Became quite strange [00:02:38]
She started to fret and to brood [00:02:43]
She used to smirk at my distress [00:02:45]
She used to spit in her food [00:02:48]
She used to yawn at my caress [00:02:50]
And then one day she went away [00:02:54]
And I know neither wither nor why[00:02:57]
But I’ve deduced that she was seduced[00:03:02]
By some bleeder who gave Freda the[00:03:05]
Eye ay ay ay ay [00:03:08]
I think some rotter has got her : oh what a[00:03:12]
Sly move a manoeuvre some free-wheeling[00:03:20]
Git has got my little tit-bit [00:03:24]
I need her my Freda have you seen her [00:03:27]
She’s dingy and thin with a ginger fringe [00:03:33]
It could be the man who brings the[00:03:41]
Milk who’s stolen off my honey child[00:03:43]
His hands are smooth his shirts are silk [00:03:45]
He’s got a most unpleasant smile [00:03:48]
The gas man may have asked her to desert[00:03:53]
She may be in the postman’s sack[00:03:56]
Perhaps the dustbin man’s a flirt [00:03:58]
Perhaps a pussy maniac [00:04:00]
And I am wise to the man who brings the meat[00:04:04]
My butcher he’s brutal and sly [00:04:08]
I’ll analyse everything that I eat :[00:04:12]
My sweetheart may be part of a pie ay ay ay ay [00:04:16]
Some monster Susie Wongster has ponced her [00:04:23]
I’m sunk for some skunk’s done a bunk [00:04:30]
Done a bee-line with my pretty feline [00:04:34]
A bleeder some bleeder’s got Freda [00:04:37]
And Freda the bleeder’s got someone new [00:04:43]
Is it you[00:04:48]
