The Lyrics

While revisiting yesterday some P. G. Wodeouse delightful "Bertie Wooster" stories I re-encountered among Bertie's pals one Potter-Pirbright, nicknamed "Catsmeat." Catsmeat, eh? Hmmmm ... :-)
"Stew My Kitty"

Here I am, in the kitchen, zip to eat,
thinkin’ “Stew my kitty? That’s a scummy thing to do!”
Grapplin’ with hunger, tho' ... I'd really like some meat,
thinkin’ “Stew my kitty? I’m so hungry … Kit, adieu!”
She looks good! (Looks good!)
She’ll cook good! (Cook good!)
She looks good! She’ll cook good! Yes, I guess that’s what I’ll do.

Before she knows it Kitty’s halfway fricasseed
thinkin’ “Whew! This kitty’s pretty glum! I’ll be stew!”
I add veggies and a shake of fennel seed
thinkin’ “Ooh, I think I should put dumplings in it, too!
And what’s more, (What’s more)
a wee pour ( wee pour)
And what’s more, a wee pour of well-aged Château Latour.”

Whoa-oh-oh, with mews she is callin’ on Jove,
Yes she is, and so I quickly turn the burner heat up on the stove.

My pretty pet, her neck I’ve got to wring today
thinkin’ ‘Oooh, it’s sh*tty, Kitty’s gonna be my stew.
’S weird and crappy that her fate’s worked out this way”;
thinkin’, too, “Ah! This is pretty dumb! Skin her , too.
’Cause I’m sure (I’m sure)
her fine (her fine)
’Cause I’m sure her fine hide I’ll want to use some time.”

So-oh-oh, with spoon I’m not stallin’ to move
Siamese from pot to cutting board and all her hide remove.

I’ll wear the leather from the kitty I'll have flayed
thinkin’ “Shoes from Kitty … least that’s somethin’ I'll use.”
A tearful chappie, still, how proudly I'll parade
thinkin’ “You, dear kitty, hadn’t one use but two –
My poor (My poor)
feline, (feline)
My poor feline, 'tis grand I'll use you double-time.”

Whoa-oh-oh
“Stew my kitty? It’s a scummy thing to do!”
“Stew my kitty? But I’m hungry … Kit, adieu!”
“Stew my kitty? She’ll be yummy! Slippers, too!”
© Stan Hall ... I'm quite certain Bertie's Aunt Agatha, none too keen on Catsmeat himself, would nonetheless view with some disapprobation what his name has here inspired. :-)

Reminds me of this one: http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/bachmanturneroverdrive2.shtml (which is quite a compliment: it's one of my favourites on amiright)

Thanks, everyone. And Phil, thanks fro the pointer to the Bachman Turner Overdrive parody ... that was a grin, despite that I once lost a much-loved pet of my own to .... er, vehicular overdrive.
