Marc Gunn & The Dubliners' Tabby Cats Lord Of The Pounce Lyrics

I pounced in the morning when the world was begun
I pounced on the moon and the stars all for fun
I leaped down from heaven, and I pounced on the earth
When I pounced my first mouse, I had my birth

Pounce, pounce, wherever you may be
I am lord of the pounce, said he
I'll run under feet, wherever you may be
And I'll leap on you in the pounce, said he

I pounced on the papyrus of the Egyptians
They wouldn't play so I stole their feather pens
I pounced on the fish caught by James and John
They fed me fish then the pounce went on

I pounced on the Sabbath, rubbed my head against the lame Many people shook their head, said this feline was insane
I may rest from pouncing, do not think I am gone
For I just saw a rat, so the pounce goes on

I and my lady meowed a song across the plain
The birds came down, and we pounced on each of them
On the bedchamber floor, I laid my carrion
Then I raced out the door and I pounced again

I dog jumped down, so I leapt up high
I have nine lives that will never, never die
I'll pounce on you though you bark at me
I am the Lord of the Pounce, said he
