Daddy wouldn't buy for me a bow-wow, bow-wow,
Daddy wouldn't buy for me a bow-wow-wow!
I've got a little cat,
I suppose I'm fond of that,
But I'd rather have a bow-wow-wow!

Then I asked my Daddy for a moo-cow, moo-cow,
Then I asked my Daddy for a moo-moo-cow!
But tho' she'd give us cream,
My request made Daddy scream,
So there won't be any moo-moo-cow!

Guess my Daddy won't get me a bow-wow, bow-wow,
Guess my Daddy won't get me a moo-moo-cow!
So with my little cat,
I will have to learn to chat,
Now all day I just say "Meow, meow, meow!"
