Lyrics
[Verse 1] A long, long time ago In the land of idiot boys There lived a cat, a phenomenal cat Who loved to wallow all day No one bothered him As he sat, content in his tree He just lived to eat 'cause it kept him fat And that's how he wanted to stay [Verse 2] Though he was big and fat All the world was good to him And he pointed out on the map All the places he had been Cowes, Sardinia, Kathmandu The Scilly Isles and Sahara, too [Chorus] Fum, fum, diddle-um di La la la la, la-la la la La la la la, la-la la la la La la la la-la la la [Verse 3] Once when he was thin He had flown to old Hong Kong And had learned the secret of life And the sea and the sky beyond So he gave up his diet and sat in a tree And ate himself through eternity [Chorus] Fum, fum, diddle-um di La la la la la-la la la La la la la, la-la la la la La la la la-la la la [Outro] Fum, fum, diddle-um di (Diddle-um di) Fum, fum, diddle-um di (Diddle-um di, diddle-um di)
