Rat-Tat-Rat

Humour, poetry, song lyrics

‘Rat-tat-tat, rat-tat-tat,’
Is that a rat with that rat-tat-tat?

I asked the cat
But he hadn’t heard the
Rat-tat-tat, rat-tat-rat.

So he went and fetched his hunting hat
‘A feather hat for hunting rat,’
As I was told by the cat.
Rat-tat-tat, rat-tat-rat.

There it is, can you hear: rat-tat-tat, rat-tat-rat?

The cat in his jaunty feathered hunting hat
Went off to hunt for the rat-tat-rat,
The rat I heard with his rat-tat-tat.

But the cat in his hunting hat,
His jaunty, feathered hunting hat,
Could not find the rat-tat-rat.

And so, that is the end of that.
