The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, here kitty
(x4)
Hark I hear them calling for me fireman, oh fireman
Hark I hear them calling for me hurry, hurry fireman
I climb the Eucalyptus, bring her kitty back
I climb the Douglas fir and bring her kitty back
I climb the Juniper and bring her kitty back
"How can I thank you for your bringing kitty back?"
Here kitty, here kitty
(x4)
Climbing, climbing they exhort me
Hurry, hurry fireman
Crying, crying loud and softly
Every cat's a crazy man
I'm at your service, ma'am, and here's your kitty back
I'm at your service ma'am, and here's your kitty back
"How can I thank you for your bringing kitty back?"
"How can I ever thank you, ever pay you back?"
Here kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, here kitty
(x4)
A four-alarmer and the circus is ablaze
Panicky people run out madly through the haze
I fight my way into the Big Top, wipe my eyes
There stands a tiger trainer, lovely, hear her cry
She points up to the high-wire, there a tiger stands
"Oh help me, help me, bring my tiger down, dear man"
"If you will save him, I will be yours every night"
I climb the pole and look the tiger in the eye
I climb the pole and look the tiger in the eye
Here kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, here kitty
(x4)
Cats have struck a silent bargain with young women with no man
Treat us, feed us royally, and tonight you'll have that man
Though a lowly fireman, for tonight I am that man
Virtue is its own reward, but tonight I am that man
Virtue is its own reward, but tonight I am that man
