Story Behind The Song

I used to put on concerts for schools and daycares, and solved my need for material by coming up with original songs.

Song Description

A group of crazy little vignettes for young ears to make them tap their toes, and laugh. Absurdities fit for the young and the young at heart.

Lyrics

I have a cat with red pajamas

He writes with a pen, makes periods and commas.

He's rich as a king, he's got lots of money;

He plays the mandolin, now, don't you think that's funny?


Ch. : Fi dee fiddle, and food Ie dee fun,

I'm done when I'm finished, and I'm finished when I'm done!


I have a rabbit with a book in his hand;

He drives to Millinocket, where he owns a piece of land;

He grows red cabbage, and millet, and corn;

His name is "Peter Woolen-Tail", sure as you're born!



When I walked to Washington, I wore white shoes,

That I polished with my polish pot I put between the pews;

A little lady laughed, and loped along with me,

When I gave a great big piece of gum to Gilbert Graham McGee!



I can fight a lion with a straw and a nail;

I can blow him off to China and pin down his tail!

He'll tell me that he's sorry, and he'll try to be good;

So I'll feed him chicken-liver pills, and lots of other food!


My name is Snipper Snapper Snoopy all-the-Day!

And! bet you can't brush your teeth any other way!

Sweep the dishes, wash the floor, and take out the trash!

And tell your Aunt Matilda that you'll come and cut her grass!



If you think this song isn't cool:

You can put it in a little bag and take it off to school;

Sing it to your teacher, or sing it to your cat;

Or roll it in a little ball, and stuff it in your hat!
