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.
Cat's in the yard
Fancy free
Dog barges 'round, says,
"You can't catch me!
No siree."
There was a time
When I was younger
I'd chase the tail
Of any danger
About to learn
About to learn
Cat jumps a fence
Lands in a pram
Baby screams, "mama!"
Out runs the man
Cat gets the can
There was a time
When I was bolder
I'd chase the heels
Of any stranger
About to learn
About to learn
Cat's in a cage
Chained to a stone
Empty bowl by his side
Just an old fish bone
Dreams of home
There was a time
A long way back
When I would fall
For any dog trap
About to learn
About to learn
About to learn
About to learn
