Old Deuteronomy Lyrics - Singles - Cats

I believe it is Old Deuteronomy 

Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time 

He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession 

He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme 

A long while before Queen Victoria's accession 

Old Deuteronomy's buried nine wives 

And more I am tempted to say ninety-nine 

And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives 

And the village is proud of him in his decline 

At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy 

When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall 

The oldest inhabitant croaks 

Well, of all things, can it be really? 

Yes, no, ho-hi-oh, my eye 

My mind may be wandering, but I confess 

I believe it is old Deuteronomy

Old Deuteronomy sits in the street 

He sits in the high street on market day 

The Bullocks may bellow, the sheep they may bleat 

But the dogs and the herdsmen will turn them away 

The cars and the lorries run over the curb 

And the villagers put up a notice "Road closed" 

So that nothing untoward may chance to disturb 

Deuteronomy's rest when he feels so disposed 

The digestive repose of that felines gastronomy 

Must never be broken whatever may befall 

The oldest inhabitant croaks 

Well, of all things, can it be really? 

Yes, no, ho-hi-oh, my eye 

my mind may be wandering, but I confess 

i believe it is old Deuteronomy
