SOLO: |
|
Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time |
|
He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession |
|
He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme |
|
A long while before Queen Victoria's accession |
|
|
|
Old Deuteronomy's buried nine wives |
|
And more I am tempted to say ninety-nine |
|
And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives |
|
And the village is proud of him in his decline |
|
|
|
At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy |
|
When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall |
|
The oldest inhabitant croaks: |
|
|
|
Well of all things can it be really |
|
No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye! |
|
My mind may be wandering but I confess |
|
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy |
|
|
|
ALL: |
|
Well of all things can it be really |
|
No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye! |
|
My mind may be wandering but I confess |
|
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy |
|
|
|
Well of all things can it be really |
|
No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye! |
|
My mind may be wandering but I confess |
|
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy |
|
|
|
Well of all things can it be really |
|
No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye! |
|
|
|
OLD DUTERONOMY: |
|
My legs may be tottery, I must go slow |
|
And be careful of Old Deuteronomy |
