A cat and a mouse went waltzing one day They danced round the floor hand in hand Said the cat to the mouse, “They’re playing our song, I think this is our favorite band.”
The mouse wore a top hat and bow tie For he was always impeccably dressed His whiskers were combed out and straightened And his shiny black shoes matched his vest
The cat wore a ball gown of violet And her earrings shone bright like the sun Of all the cats on the dance floor that day She was by far the most beautiful one
They bowed to the walrus and goldfish The Duke and the Duchess of Dahl Whose magnificent undersea mansion Played home to the animal ball
They waved to the tuna and dolphin Had tea with the spider and snake The tortoise stopped by to chat and say “Hi” Before swimming back home to his lake
The band played on, long into the night And the mouse and the cat danced away Till the clock’s tingling chime finally signaled the time When the sun turned the night into day
