Mon Petit Chat Noir ~ My Little Black Cat
Here's my first song in French inspired by this little cloth cat pin given to me by a San Francisco librarian . . .
Mon Petit Chat Noir ©jimmurdoch 2014
Petit chat noir marchant dans la rue
Tu cherches un oiseau dodu
Une souris juteuse, quelque chose a manger
Un grand thon nageant dans tes rêves
Chœur ~
Petit chat noir, Beau petit chat noir
Petites pattes trottant (en) bas de la route
Petit chat noir, Beau petit chat noir
Une delice pour un petit chat noir
Petit chat noir cache dans l’herbe
Attendant un en-cas qui passe
S'accroupir en bas, très toujours
Tu auras bientôt un bon plaisir
Chœur ~
Petit chat noir, Beau petit chat noir
Petites pattes trottant (en) bas de la route
Petit chat noir, Beau petit chat noir
Une delice pour un petit chat noir
Petit chat noir frotte contre moi
Et demande vous me caressera ?"
Petit chat noir avec des yeux sombres
Et demande, "puis-je sauter sur tes genoux ?"
Chœur ~ bis

My Little Black Cat ©jim murdoch 2014
Little black cat walking down the street
Looking for a plump bird to eat
A juicy mouse, something in between
A big tuna swimming in your dreams
Little black cat, Pretty black cat
little paws trotting down the street
Little black cat, Pretty black cat
A delicious treat for the little black cat
Little black cat hiding in the grass
waiting for a snack to pass
Crouch down low, very still
soon a good treat, have you will
Little black cat, Pretty black cat
little paws trotting down the street
Little black cat, Pretty black cat
A delicious treat for the little black cat
Little black cat brushes up to me
And asks, 'please will you caress me?'
Little black cat with somber eyes
says, 'can I jump up on your thighs (lap/knees)?'
Little black cat, Pretty black cat
little paws trotting down the street
Little black cat, Pretty black cat
A delicious treat for the little black cat
