Siamese Cat Song
Disney · Lady and the Tramp [1955]
We are Siamese if you don't please
Now we lookin' over our new domicile
If we like we stay for maybe quite a while
Do you seeing that thing swimming 'round and 'round?
Maybe we could reaching in and make it drown
If we sneaking up upon it carefully
There will be a head for you, a tail for me
Do you hear what I hear?
Purr...A baby cry!
Where we finding baby there are milk nearby
If we look in baby buggy there could be
Plenty milk for you and also some for me
