Here Kitty

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

(4x)

Hark I hear them calling for me fireman, oh fireman

Hark I hear them calling for me hurry, hurry fireman

I climb the Eucalyptus, bring her kitty back

I climb the Douglas fir and bring her kitty back

I climb the Juniper and bring her kitty back

"How can I thank you for your bringing kitty back?"

Here kitty, here kitty

(4x)

Climbing, climbing they exhort me

Hurry, hurry fireman

Crying, crying loud and softly

Every cat's a crazy man

I'm at your service, ma'am, and here's your kitty back

I'm at your service ma'am, and here's your kitty back

"How can I thank you for your bringing kitty back?"

"How can I ever thank you, ever pay you back?"

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

(4x)

A four-alarmer and the circus is ablaze

Panicky people run out madly through the haze

I fight my way into the Big Top, wipe my eyes

There stands a tiger trainer, lovely, hear her cry

She points up to the high-wire, there a tiger stands

"Oh help me, help me, bring my tiger down, dear man"

"If you will save him, I will be yours every night"

I climb the pole and look the tiger in the eye

I climb the pole and look the tiger in the eye

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

Here kitty, here kitty

(4x)

Cats have struck a silent bargain with young women with no man

Treat us, feed us royally, and tonight you'll have that man

Though a lowly fireman, for tonight I am that man

Virtue is its own reward, but tonight I am that man

Virtue is its own reward, but tonight I am that man
