[ Featuring
His Hot Licks, Dan Hicks ]
A very hip bird sits in his cage
He sings "tweet-tweet-tweet-tweet
Tweet-tweet-tweet-tweet-tweet"
His neighbor the cat is a real swinger, too
He goes "meow-meow-meow-meow-meow-meow-meow"
As cool as the mouse who digs on his cheese
He goes "squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak"
And the dog is a-scattin' 'cause he's in his own house
He goes "bow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow"
And the bird in his cage does a buck-and-a-wing
He's dancin' "tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick"
Hep cat and his buddies play the minuet
"do-da-do-dodo, do-da-do-da-doo-doo-da"
As cool as the mouse who digs on his cheese
He goes "squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak"
And the dog is down home, he's got the beat by the tail
He's barkin' "bow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow"
When they do this together it's a euphonious whale
"Bow, meow, tick, squeak, meow, bow, meow, tweet tick, tweet"
When they do this together they make a euphonious whale
