In an attic room in Dundee town,
A poor old woman spread the tale around;
Well, she lived fifty years in her old top flat,
With no other company but a little tom cat.
I hope so, I say so,
With no other company but her old tom cat... Meow...
Poor old woman... Yaddle-ee-yaddle-ee-yaddle-ee-ya... Meow, meow.
This lovely lady by the fireside glum,
Who do you think came down the chimney;
I'm your fairy Godmother, have no fear,
To grant you three wishes they sent me here.
I hope so, I say so,
Oh, to grant you three wishes sure they sent me here.
Poor old woman... Yaddle-ee-yaddle-ee-yaddle-ee-ya... Meow, meow.
A face that's fresh, a figure divine,
This night alone sure I wish was mine;
The fairy said I'll have a go,
And she made her look like Bridgette Bardot.
I hope so, I say so,
Oh, she made her look like Bridgette Bardot.
Poor old woman... Yaddle-ee-yaddle-ee-yaddle-ee-ya... Meow, meow.
This lovely lady looked at her purse,
I could always use some cash, of course;
The fairy waved her wand around,
There on the table lay a thousand pounds.
I hope so, I say so,
Oh, there on the table lay a thousand pounds.
Poor old woman... Yaddle-ee-yaddle-ee-yaddle-ee-ya... Meow, meow.
This lovely lady by the fireside sat,
She started makin' eyes at her little tom cat;
Now, he's my only love so here's my plan,
Tonight make my cat into a handsome man.
I hope so, I say so,
Oh, tonight make my cat into a handsome man.
Poor old woman... Yaddle-ee-yaddle-ee-yaddle-ee-ya... Meow, meow.
This handsome man to the woman drew near,
And he whispered softly in her ear;
The night is young but you'll regret,
The day you took me to the vet.
I hope so, I say so,
Oh, the night is young but you'll regret...
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow,
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow;
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow,
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.
Meoooow... Snip...
There goes my reason for livin'...
Poor old woman... Yaddle-ee-yaddle-ee-yaddle-ee-ya... Meow, meow.
