This coat of colours, this raven black,
Every possible cat.
And every cat in the twilight's gray,
This red of tangerine;
As gay as a sunflower she;
And every cat in the twilight's gray,
Twilight follows the brightest day,
She is smooth and fat,
And her waistcoat's white and her nose is pink,
But all is vanity, all the way;
The tortoiseshell cat,
And her eyes are as green as the sea.
In orange and black you see her wink,
But all is vanity, all the way;
She sits on the mat,
The tortoiseshell cat,
Because she weareth upon her back
Twilight's coming and close of day,
And we call her Josephine,
Every possible cat.
