Don Gatto

An Ode to my Elementary School music days.

DON GATTO!!!


Oh Senor Don Gatto was a cat

On a high red roof Don Gatto sat

He went there to read a letter meow meow meow

Where the reading light was better meow meow meow

Twas a love note for Don Gatto



I adore you wrote the lady cat

Who was fluffy white and nice and fat

There was not a sweeter kitty meow meow meow

In the country or the city meow meow meow

And she said she'd wed Don Gatto



Poor Don Gatto jumped so happily

He fell off the roof and broke his knee

Broke his ribs and all his whiskers meow meow meow

And his little solar plexus meow meow meow

Aye-Karamba cried Don Gatto



Then the doctors all came on the run

Just to see if something could be done

And they held a consultation meow meow meow

About how to save their patient meow meow meow

How to save Senor Don Gatto



But in spite of everything they tried

Poor Senor Don Gatto up and died

And it wasn't very merry meow meow meow

Going to the cemetery meow meow meow

For the ending of Don Gatto



When the funeral passed the market square

Such a smell of fish was in the air

Though his burial was slated meow meow meow

He became re-animated meow meow meow

HE CAME BACK TO LIFE DON GATTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had been trying to remember the ending of that song to teach to my daughters but couldn't remember from when he fell off the roof and broke his knee. I sang this in first grade back in the 70s. My daughters thought it was hilarious. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
