If a man has one cat
And another one comes to stay
How many cats
Are there in his house today?

Two pussy cats, two pussy cats
Two pussy cats, two pussy cats

Another cat scratches on the door
The man lets him in
The cat says, “Awfully good old you old chap”
And licks him on the chin

Three pussy cats, three pussy cats
Three pussy cats, three pussy cats

A little bit later on
Two more cats appear
A tabby one and a stray
The man gives them an ice cold beer and that makes

Five pussy cats, five pussy cats
Five pussy cats, five pussy cats
Lyin’ on the kitchen floor

Meiow, meiow…

Four cats jump up
And run away chasing a mouse
So how many cats
Are there still left in this house?

One pussy cat, one pussy cat
One little pussy cat, a little bitty pussy cat
Lyin’ on the kitchen floor

Meiow, meiow, meiow
