N'YOT N'YOW (THE PUSSYCAT SONG)
(Dick Manning)
Perry Como & The Fontane Sisters - 1949


FONTANE SISTERS: This is the story 
'bout Perry who came home late one night!

PERRY COMO: Must have been about a 
two or three am, something like that!

FS: "Gotta get me some sleep", he yawned 
as he turned out the light!

PC: Haaw! I guess I was too tired to do any reading!

FS: Whether he dreamed what happened, 
or if he really heard it, he wouldn't bet 
but he swears it sounded like two cats singin' a duet!

PC: Come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten 
This is me, your boyfriend 'Tom' 

FS: N'yot N'yow! 

PC: Ah! come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten 
This is old Tom, 'Tom' the atom-bomb! 

FS: N'yot N'yow!
We assure you we'd come y'out if only we knew how 
They tell us that you really are the cat's 'MEOW'! 

PC: Ah! come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten now? 

FS: N'yot N'yow! 

PC: Oh!

FS: Come y'out, come y'out, come y'out our croonin' kitten 
We will serenade the moon! 

PC: N'yot N'yow! 

FS: Come y'out, come y'out, come y'out our little kitten 
We will sing a little tune! 

PC: N'yot N'yow!
When the folks got home tonight at twelve or thereabout 
They locked the door and they forgot to put me-yowt! 

FS: Oowah!

PC: Alone from night to night you'll find me!

FS: Come y'out, come y'out, come y'out our croonin' kitten 
Mee-yowh! 

PC: Heh heh. OK, now!
