SONG LYRICS

Song 1
Hickory dickory dock,
The mouse went up the clock.
The clock struck one, the mouse ran down,
I chased him out of the house.
If he comes back, I’ll tell him,
My house is no place for a mouse.

Song 2
Won’t you come and play with me?
Tell me what colours you see.
Can you find something purple…just like me?
Orange, yellow and green,
Red and blue are pretty cool,
But purple is my favorite.
Because I’m purple!

Song 3
Oh, I’m a jolly good kitty,
I’m a jolly good kitty,
I’m a jolly good kitty,
Unless I get angry. Sometimes
I get angry, it makes me want to hiss,
To make me feel better,
Scratch my ears, give me a kiss.
