For anyone curious to hear my original song for alto and guitar on which this curious chorus is based, do download this recording, made in the 1980s.
Whimsy on 2 cats
A thin young cat
sat on a pickle vat slat
and spied through a slot.
(a curious little cat)
A thin young cat
sat on a pickle vat slat
and spied through a slot.
(a pickle vatty cat)
Inside was a lot of pickled peppers
hot hot!
And one was fat like a rat.
So she stretched out her paw...
Pulled it out with her claw..
and sank her teeth in firm...
But it wasn't a rat!
And our cat spat
and scat from the pickle vat
---
A fat cat sat on the mat.
A traditional cat sat on the mat.
Cat!
