Nol Coward — Chase Me Charlie

When it's late and the world is sleeping Our little black cat No bigger than that Has a date which she's keen on keeping No use dissuading her She's serenading her Beau In this garden below She sings "Oh, won't you chase me, Charlie Chase me, Charlie, over the garden wall I'd like to wander for miles and miles Wreathed in smiles Out on the tiles With you Chase me Charlie, chase me, Charlie Don't be afraid to fall Love in the moonlight can be sublime Now's the time Charlie, I'm Waiting for you if you'll only climb Over the garden wall." Every night at about eleven Our little cat knows Our little cat goes Quick as light to her private heaven No use restraining her She's set on gaining her Prize With her amorous cries Hypnotizing him "Chase me, Charlie, chase me, Charlie Over the garden wall Why should we care if the neighbors shout? Please come out Let's fool about A bit Chase me, Charlie, chase me, Charlie I'll be your all in all If you'll appear and be gay with me Play with me Stay with me Any suggestion's okay with me Over the garden wall." "Chase me, Charlie, chase me, Charlie Over the garden wall Why not give into the joys of spring? Have a fling Why are you lingering? Chase me, Charlie, chase me, Charlie This is my final call Pussycat, pussycat, don't be coy Jump for joy Oi, oi, oi! Straighten your whiskers and attaboy Over the garden wall."
