  • 作词 : T.S. Eliot
    作曲 : Andrew Lloyd Webber

    You've heard of several kinds of cat
    And my opinion now is that:
    You should need no interpreter to understand our character
    You've learned enough to take the view
    That cats are very much like you
    You've seen us both at work and games
    And learnt about our proper names
    Our habits and our habitat
    But how would you address a cat?
    So first, your memory I'll jog
    And say: a cat is not a dog
    So first, your memory I'll jog
    And say: a cat is not a dog
    With cats, some say one rule is true
    Don't speak 'til you are spoken to
    Myself I do not hold with that
    I say, you should address a cat
    But always bear in mind that he resents familiarity
    You bow, and taking off your hat, address him in this form:
    "Oh, Cat"
    "Oh, Cat"
    Before a cat will condescend to treat you as a trusted friend
    Some little token of esteem is needed, like a dish of cream
    Oh, you might now and then supply
    Some caviar or Strasbourg pie
    Some potted grouse or salmon paste
    He's sure to have his personal taste
    And so in time you reach your aim
    And call him by his name

    A cat's entitled to expect these evidences of respect
    So this is this, and that is that
    And that's how you address a cat
