Here Kitty

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

Hark I hear them calling for me fireman, oh fireman

Hark I hear them calling for me hurry, hurry fireman

I climb the Eucalyptus, bring her kitty back

I climb the Douglas fir and bring her kitty back

I climb the Juniper and bring her kitty back

“How can I thank you for your bringing kitty back?”

Here kitty, here kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

Climbing, climbing they exhort me

Hurry, hurry fireman

Crying, crying loud and softly

Every cat’s a crazy man

I’m at your service, ma’am, and here’s your kitty back

I’m at your service ma’am, and here’s your kitty back

“How can I thank you for your bringing kitty back?”

“How can I ever thank you, ever pay you back?”

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

A four-alarmer and the circus is ablaze

Panicky people run out madly through the haze

I fight my way into the Big Top, wipe my eyes

There stands a tiger trainer, lovely, hear her cry

She points up to the high-wire, there a tiger stands

“Oh help me, help me, bring my tiger down, dear man”

“If you will save him, I will be yours every night”

I climb the pole and look the tiger in the eye

I climb the pole and look the tiger in the eye

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

Cats have struck a silent bargain with young women with no man

Treat us, feed us royally, and tonight you’ll have that man

Though a lowly fireman, for tonight I am that man

Virtue is its own reward, but tonight I am that man

Virtue is its own reward, but tonight I am that man

Virtue is its own reward, but tonight I am that man
