The Chase.
It's very wrong, we know,
To chase a pussy so,
But oh! it is a merry thing
To see that pussy go!

But oh! it is a merry thing
To see that pussy go!
She is the favourite cat,
Well, dear me, what of that?
It ought to do the favourite good:
She's much too round and fat.

Hi, hi, you pussy, fly!
The other dogs and I
Will get you into training, now,
Or know the reason why!
The other dogs and I
Will get you into training, now,
Or know the reason why!
Hark, forward! hi, away!
Why she's got out of reach in the hay;
Come out, come out, you silly puss:
Don't you know it was only play?

Come out, come out, you silly puss:
Don't you know it was only play?
