How to Skin a Cat

We are starting a cat ranch and taking one hundred thousand cats

Each cat will have twelve kittens a year

The catskins will sell for thirty cents each

One hundred men could skin five thousand cats a day

We could be dealing a profit of over ten thousand dollars

But what should we feed the cats?

We will start a rat ranch next door with a million rats

The rats will be twelve times faster than the cats

So we can have more rats to feed each day for each cat

But what should we feed the rats?

We will feed the ratsThe carcases of the cats

After they have been skinned

Now get this!

We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats

And get the catskins for nothing

We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats

And get the catskins for nothing

We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats

And get the catskins for nothing

We feed the rats the carcases of the cats

After they have been skinned

We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats

And get the catskins for nothing

Rats to the cats and the cats to the rats

And get the catskins for nothing
