Florrie Forde — What Happened To The Manx Cats Tail?

[Verse 1] I'm a chap who wonders and I wonder why I do There's lots of things, it's true, I wish I really knew But there's one puzzle puzzles me, and it would be a blessing If you would help to solve it for it's really got me guessing [Chorus] What happened to the Manx cat's tail? Manx cat's tail, Manx cat's tail Poor old cat, it seems all wrong Has to wag his little nothing all day long Meow; tell me how and when did they begin? What happened to the Manx cat's tail? Did they chop it off or tuck it in? [Verse 2] It's so sad to think that all the pussycats and toms And terriers and Poms can wag their to-and-from While the Manx cats have no tails at all - a thing at which one shudders! How do they steer themselves at night without their little rudders? [Chorus] What happened to the Manx cat's tail? Manx cat's tail, Manx cat's tail Poor old cat, it seems all wrong Has to wag his little nothing all day long Meow; tell me how and when did they begin? What happened to the Manx cat's tail? Did they chop it off or tuck it in?
