The Cat Carol |
|
The cat wanted in to the warm warm house, |
|
but no one would let the cat in |
|
It was cold outside on Christmas Eve, |
|
She meowed and meowed by the door. |
|
The cat was not let in the warm warm house, |
|
And her tiny cries were ignored. |
|
'twas a blizzard now, the worst of the year, |
|
There was no place for her to hide. |
|
Just then a poor little mouse crept by, |
|
He had lost his way in the snow. |
|
He was on his last legs and was almost froze, |
|
The cat lifted him with her paw. |
|
She said "Poor mouse do not be afraid, |
|
because this is Christmas Eve. |
|
"On this freezing night we both need a friend, |
|
"I won't hurt you - stay by my side." |
|
She dug a small hole in an icy drift, |
|
This is where they would spent the night. |
|
She curled herself 'round her helpless friend, |
|
Protecting him from the cold. |
|
Oooooo |
|
When Santa came by near the end of the night, |
|
the reindeer started to cry. |
|
They found the cat lying there in the snow, |
|
and they could see that she had died. |
|
They lifted her up from the frozen ground, |
|
and placed her into the sleigh. |
|
It was then they saw the little mouse wrapped up, |
|
she had kept him warm in her fur. |
|
"Oh thank you Santa for finding us! |
|
"Dear cat wake up we are saved!" |
|
..."I'm sorry mouse but your friend has died, |
|
there's nothing more we can do. |
|
"On Christmas Eve she gave you her life, |
|
the greatest gift of them all." |
|
Santa lifted her up into the night sky, |
|
and laid her to rest among the stars. |
|
"Dear mouse don't cry you are not alone, |
|
you will see your friend every year. |
|
"Each Christmas a Cat Constellation will shine, |
|
to remind us that her love's still here." |
|
Oooooooo |
