Текст песни Melinda the Mousie - Ella Fitzgerald & Her Famous Orchestra

Melinda was a mousy, living in a little housey
And her life was one of wonderful ease
On the sunny side of 20, with a papa who had plenty
Her life was just a bowl of cheese
One day a kitty said, "My, but you're purdy
I love you." Mousy near died, but
Replied, "Why, I know nothing of you
You're just a kitty cat." But Kitty said, "Don't worry
Be a sport
Come on and hurry
For you, I've got a lovely surprise." But as Kitty Cat got nearer
Melinda saw much clearer, it wasn't love in Kitty's eyes
Just then, a hound with his nose to
The ground happened to wander around
'Twould have done you good to see, Kitty scramble
Up a tree, and her friend Melinda Mouse got free
Now Kitty's mad 'cause mousy is free
Melinda's glad
Ha-ha
Hee-hee
The kitty's up a tree
Now Kitty's mad 'cause mousy is free
Melinda's glad
Ha-ha
Hee-hee
The kitty's up a tree
