[A] Cat she went a-huntin' and from the battle bed in
And back she came a-callin' and a-callin' and a-callin'
[D] Well, what Cat found was [A] a man a-burnin' down
And the rats came up in her huntin' and the cat she caught a plenty
She dumped the antler, dodged her, and the dog turned a-dodge her
[D] She found him in the burning hay and the man was [A] burnin' down
Now the cat she has to hide her face behind the rocks she's hittin'
So as not to show us where they'd like to get their meat
The pirate [B] trips in his jungle, he's a big proud [D] number, said
[A] Ooh, [Am] ooh, ooh, [D] [A] [Am]
ooh, ooh, [D] ooh, ooh
[A] [D]
[A] The pirate begins his carpet, right to singing
The angels sipping on barbeque, so pirate, so pirate
[D] So from the cage and horses down, the whale behavior [A] doesn't change
And down the river, sparks go up from the night sky
The dogs are wailing, the tail's down, the tail's down, the tail's down
[D] The boys are making a chain and the yodeling, the passing [A] the peas along
Now the cat she has to hide her face behind the rocks she's hittin'
So as not to show us where they'd like to get their meat
The pirate trips in his [Am] jungle, he's a big [Dm] proud number, said
[E]
[D]
[Dm] [D] [A]
[D] Wake up, farmer, the [A] barn is burning now
[D] Wake up, farmer, the barn is burning [A]
now
[G] [D] [A] The cat she went to hunting on the barn, the baby
Back she's coming, crawling, crawling, crawling
Back she's coming, crawling, crawling, crawling
Oh, back she's coming, crawling, [Dm] crawling, crawling
Oh, [A] back she's coming, [Am] [N]
crawling, crawling, crawling
