The sun did not shine
It was too wet to play
So we sat in the house
All that cold, cold, wet day
I sat there with Sally
We sat there, we two
And I said How I wish
We had something to do!
Too wet to go out
And too cold to play ball
So we sat in the house
We did nothing at all
So all we could do was to
Sit, sit, sit, sit
And we did not like it
Not one little bit
And then
Something went bump
How that bump made us jump
We looked
Then we saw him step in on the mat
We looked
And we saw him
The Cat in the Hat
And he said to us
Why do you sit there like that?
I know it is wet
And the sun is not sunny
But we can have
Lots of good fun that is funny
I know some good games we could play
Said the cat
I know some new tricks
Said the Cat in the Hat
A lot of good tricks
I will show them to you
Your mother
Will not mind at all if I do
Then Sally and I
Did not know what to say
Our mother was out of the house
For the day
But our fish said, No! No!
Make that cat go away
Tell that Cat in the Hat
You do NOT want to play
You should not be here
You should not be about
You should not be here
When your mother is out
Now! Now! Have no fear
Have no fear! said the cat
My tricks are not bad
Said the Cat in the Hat
Why, we can have
Lots of good fun, if you wish
With a game that I call
UP-UP-UP with a fish!
Put me down! said the fish
This is no fun at all!
Put me down! said the fish
I do NOT wish to fall!
Have no fear! said the cat
I will not let you fall
I will hold you up high
As I stand on a ball
With a book in one hand
And a cup on my hat
But that is not all I can do
Said the cat
Look at me
Look at me now said the cat
With a cup and a cake
On the top of my hat
I can hold up TWO books
I can hold up the fish
And a little toy ship
And some milk on a dish
And look
I can hop up and down on the ball
But that´s not all
Oh, no
That is not all
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me NOW
It is fun to have fun
From up there on the ball
And Sally and I
We saw ALL the things fall
And our fish came down, too
He fell into a pot
He said, Do I like this?
Oh, no I do not
This is not a good game
Said out fish as he lit
No, I do not like it
Not one little bit
Now look what you did
Said the fish to the cat
Now look at this house
