PHENOMENAL CAT



 (FLUTE PLAYS OVER:) C    Bb    F       D  G D  G



   D          G    D          D       G    D

A long, long time ago, in a land of idiot boys

       G         D       F         C

There lived the cat, a phenomenal cat

     Bb                  F

Who loved to wallow all day



No one bothered him as he sat, content in his tree

He just lived to eat cos it kept him fat

And that's how he wanted to stay



CHORUS #1:

 Dm                    A            C                 

F

Though he was big and fat, all the world was good to him

         Dm                A           C            Fsus4

And he pointed out on the map all the places he had been

 Dm      Dm/G    Dm/F Dm/E      

    Dm/C      Dm/Bb   A

Cowes, Sardinia, Katmandu, The Scilly Isles and Sahara, too



Fum, fum, diddle-um di

La la la la, la-la la la

La la la la, la-la la la la

La la la la-la la la



CHORUS #2:

Once when he was thin, he had flown to old Hong Kong

And had learned the secret of life, and the sea and the sky beyond

So he gave up his diet and sat in a tree

And ate himself through eternity



Fum, fum, diddle-um di

La la la la la-la la la

La la la la, la-la la la la

La la la la-la la la

Fum, fum, diddle-um di

Fum, fum, diddle-um di
