He hunts birds in the hydrangea And in the tree Major was ever a ranger He ranges where no one can see. Sometimes he goes up to the attic With a hooped back His paws hit the iron rungs Of the ladder in a quick kick How can this be done? It is a knack. Oh Major is a fine cat He walks cleverly And what is he at, my fine cat? No one can see. A Sony Music Entertainment production.
