• At night they slink about the house,
    keeping as quiet as a mouse.
    Yet they sing and dance,
    and hunt and prance
    To the sound of soft music,
    Still keeping as quiet as a mouse

    By day they sit, and purr and eat
    Waiting till the human feet,
    are all quiet and asleep.
    Then they again slink about the house
    Keeping as quiet as a mouse
