Lyrics[]
We are Siamese if you please
We are Siamese if you don't please
Now we looking over our new domicile
If we like we stay for maybe quite a while
Do you seeing that thing swimming round and round?
Yes. Maybe we can reaching in and make it drown
If we sneaking up upon it carefully
There will be a head for you, a tail for me
Do you hear what I hear?
A baby cry?
Where we finding baby there be milk nearby
If we look in baby buggy there could be
Plenty milk for you and also some for me
We are Siamese if you please
We are Siamese if you don't please
We are former residents of Siam
There are no finer cat than I am
Do you see what I see with my eyes?
People have been baking up some pies
Peeping jumping up upon their window
Though delicious spice we could get into
Who is that who is living in that wire house
It must be a bird because it's not a mouse
If we're sneakin' up upon it carefully
There will be some bird for you and some for me
Do you seeing that thing swimming round and round?
Maybe we could reaching in and make it drown
If we're sneakin' up upon it carefully
There will be some fish for you and some for me
