Songdrops – Cocoa The Cute Little Coo Coo Calico Kitten lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was in New Jersey visiting the town of Trenton,
About a three thousand mile swim from Great Britain,
But please don't try to swim it, I was just kidding,
The water's too cold and the whales don't like to be ridden.

Anyway, I was just there for a little house-sitting.
On a cold winter day that almost left me frostbitten.
Then I saw on the wall a note that my friend had written:
"Beware of Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten."

I was sitting in the living room, a really nice room to sit in,
But it had a big handmade blanket that didn't quite fit in.
It must've been made by someone who really likes knitting,
But probably not Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten.

[Chorus]
Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten.
Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten.
It's for her this simple song was written.
Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten.

[Verse 2]
I didn't know that Cocoa was under the blanket hidden,
'Til suddenly she jumped out and ran to me unbidden,
Then she jumped out and pounced on my hand and it got bitten,
By Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten.

If I had known it was coming I would've worn a mitten,
If I could find one that my hand could fit in.
It didn't really hurt, I'm the first to be admitting,
The bite from Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten.

I said, "I know you're just playing but biting me is forbidden,
My hand's not something your teeth should be putting a dent in.
If they weren't so sharp then maybe I'd be permitting,
A bite from Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten. "

[Chorus]
Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten.
Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten.
It's for her this simple song was written.
Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten.

[Verse 3]
She was so cute that soon I was totally smitten.
She looked like a cat that I had once, the image was spitting.
She was so crazy when I played my laughter was sidesplitting,
Because of Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten.

Then I looked at the time and saw how late it was getting.
My house-sitting was done; it was time for me to be quitting.
I said, "You are a cat that I won't soon be forgetting,"
And I hugged goodbye Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten.

[Chorus]
Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten.
Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten.
It's for her this simple song was written.
Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico,
Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico,
Cocoa the cute little coo coo calico kitten.
