Senor Don Gato

Words & Music:

Traditional Children's

 

Senor Don Gato was a cat.  Meow, meow, meow!

On a high red roof Don Gato sat.  Meow, meow, meow!

He went there to read a letter.  Meow, meow, meow!

Where the reading light was better.  Meow, meow, meow!

'Twas a love note for Don Gato.

 

"I adore you" wrote the lady cat.  Meow, meow, meow!

Who was fluffy, white, and nice and fat.  Meow, meow, meow!

There was not a sweeter kitty.  Meow, meow, meow!

In the country or the city.  Meow, meow, meow!

And she said she'd wed Don Gato.

 

Oh, Senor Don Gato jumped with glee.  Meow, meow, meow!

He fell off the roof and broke his knee.  Meow, meow, meow!

Broke his ribs and all his whiskers.  Meow, meow, meow!

and his little solar plexus.  Meow, meow, meow!

"Ay carumba!" cried Don Gato

 

As the funeral passed the market square.  Meow, meow, meow!

The smell of fish was in the air.  Meow, meow, meow!

Though the funeral was slated.  Meow, meow, meow!

He became re-animated.  Meow, meow, meow!

He came back to life, Don Gato!
