NINE CATS (S. Wilson - A. Duffy)
AmThe butterfly sDailed on the breeze
Fmaj7Past a field of barbed wEire trees
AmWhere golden drDagons chased around
Fmaj7Pampered poppies on the grEound
CTwo silver trout sat way on hAmigh Fmaj7
CAnd watched a rGoyal samurAmai Fmaj
CPlant two black orchids in a bAmox Fmaj7
ACnd strap Git to a laughiAmng foFmaj7x
AmA minstrel bouDght a crooked spoon
AmHe gave it to Da blue baboon
AmWho filled it Dfull of virgin snow
And wFmaj7atched it iGn the aftergAmlow
Fat toad stood in his ballet shoes
Teaching sixteen kangaroos
How to skip across a lake
They found it hard to stay awake
A pharaoh played a merry tune
And watched nine cats dance on the moon
I didn't know what all this meant
I didn't know why I'd been sent.
The Insignificance version of Nine Cats has the following additional verse at the end:
I threw 5 clocks down on my bed
The chimes danced out on golden threads
And turned to footprints on my wall
Sequined tears began to fall
