Whimsical Widgeon the cat about town
where is he off to tonight.
Stalking the street like a cop on the beat,
whirling his tail at a mouse or a snail.
Old Mr Fat Rat appears on the scene,
twitching his whiskers
and feeling supreme
he’s a mighty fine rat that ever has been.
Whimsical Widgeon serene and sublime
thinks Mr Fat Rat would do him just fine.
Old Mr Fat Rat has other ideas
the cat about town he has known many years.
He once was a kitten so sweet and so small
that he made Mr. Fat Rat seem awfully tall.
The moral of this is the cat wants the rat,
but the rat loves the cat
and that’s that.
