[I gave my puss a mac-a-roon]
I gave my puss a mac-a-roon,
And bade her eat with a silver spoon;
I brought a glass of sparkling wine,
And bade the pretty creature dine.
And bade her eat with a silver spoon;
I brought a glass of sparkling wine,
And bade the pretty creature dine.
But see what came of it, a-lack!
That naughty pussy turned her back;
Now was it not a dreadful sight
To see a puss so impolite?
That naughty pussy turned her back;
Now was it not a dreadful sight
To see a puss so impolite?
