What Does The Pussycat Mean When She Says "Meow"?
Composer(s): Pease; Granlund; Nelson
Performer(s): Margaret Young



I went to school, and then I went to college
Learned every rule, that's how I got my knowledge
But now I'm puzzled, and always up a tree
Won't someone please tell me

What does the pussy cat mean when she says, "Meow"?
What does the little dog mean when he says, "Bow-wow"?
I know that hay means horses
And that marriage means divorces
But what does the pussy cat mean when she says "Meow"?

I know that church means Sunday, and that Friday means a fish
I know that wash means Monday, and a platter means a dish
I know a boy means mister, and a girlie means a miss
When her lip touches his lips, I know it means a kiss
A baby means a rattle; a barrel means a keg
And when a chicken cackles, it means she's laid an egg
I know that green means Irish, and that Irish means a cop
Limburger means a Zeppelin, and spaghetti means a wop

What does the pussy cat mean when she says "Meow"?
What does the little dog mean when he says "Bow-wow"?
I know that Heinz means pickles
And I know a feather tickles
But what does the pussy cat mean when she says, "Meow"?
