When the Dairy Farm Caught Fire Marc Gunn

Some friends and I in a milkman’s truck
Were eating catnip one night
When into the truck a tomcat jumped
His scraggly face gone white
“What’s up”, says Tom, “Have you seen a dog
Or has our milkman retired?”
“Milkman retired? Fft hiss!”, says he
“The dairy farms’ on fire!”

And there were toms stretched up and down
Lappin’ up the milk on the floor
“My Cream, Cream!” the farmer cried
As he came knockin’ on the door (clap clap)
Oh don’t let him in till it’s all lapped up
Then somebody shouted Mreow! MREOW!
And wе all drank milk till the cows came home
Whеn the dairy farm caught fire

“Mew,” says Tom, “What a bit of luck!
Everybody follow me
And it’s out to the barn
If the fire’s there
Then we’ll have milk for free.”
We chased Tom down nipping his heels
Then into the milk pond flipped
And we hadn’t been there ten minutes or more
Till we were all quite ‘nipped
