Marc Gunn & The Dubliners' Tabby Cats - A Cat Named Rover lyrics

A cat named Rover came over the hill Jumping through the gra** so shady He yowled and meowed till some stones flew down But he won the purrs of a lady kitty Meow-dee-do, meow-dee-mew-dah-day Meow-dee-do, meow-dee-day-dee He yowled and meowed till some stones flew down But he won the purrs of a lady kitty She left her favorite scratching post She left her Manx cat lover She left her human and fancy feast bowl For a yowling cat named Rover She left behind her feathery cat wand The shoes she shredded of Spanish leather They yowled and meowed, then some boots flew down As they ran off together Last night, she napped on a goose feather bed Ripped a hole in the covers Tonight no feathers will be in her mouth As she sleeps next to a cat named Rover Her human walked all around the hills He searched the valley all over Sought the Persian that he combed each night And that cursed tomcat named Rover He came at last to a gra**y knoll With a willow tree's leaves bent over A large cat sat still as he cleaned his tail He recognized the cat named Rover "How can you leave your plush cat bed? The finest fancy feast can ripped open? How can you leave your Manx cat love All for a cat named Rover? "He is no dog despite his name You'll never catch him rolling over He'll sire strong kittens and win any cat fight Because he is a cat named him Rover."
