Of the awful battle of the pekes and the pollicles

Together with some account Of the participation of the pugs and the poms

And the intervention of the great Rumpus Cat!!!

Fm

 The Fmpekes and the pollicles everyone knows

 Are a Fmproud and implacable C7pasFsionate Fmfoes

 It is C7alwFays the same whereever one Fmgoes

 And the FmPugs and the Poms although most people say

 That they Fmdo not like fighting yet C7oncFe in a Fmway

 They will C7nowF and aC7gaiFn join into the Fmfray and they

Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark

 UnE/Btil you could FmheaCr them all C7over the Fmpark and they

Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark

 UnE/Btil you could FmheaCr them all C7over the Fmpark

 Now Fmon the occassion of Fmwhich I shall speak

 Almost Fmnothing had happened for C7neaFrly a Fmweek

 And C7thaFt's a long C7timFe for a C7PolF or a FmPeke

 The Fmbig police dog was aFmway from his beat

 I Fmdon't know the reason but C7mosFt people Fmthink

 He slipped C7intFo the C7WelFlington C7ArmFs for a Fmdrink

 And A♯mno one at D♯all was aG♯bout on the C♯street

 When a F♯Peke and a C7Pollicle Fmhappened to meet

 They A♯mdid not adD♯vance or eG♯xactly reC♯treat

 But they F♯glared at each C7other and scraped their hind feet and they started to

Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark

 UnE/Btil you could FmheaCr them all C7over the Fmpark

 Now the FmPeke although people may Fmsay what they please

 Is Fmno British dog but a C7heaFthen ChiFmnese

 And Fmso all the Pekes when they Fmheard the uproar

 Some Fmcame to the window, some C7camFe to the Fmdoor

 There were C7surFely a dozen more likely a Fmscore

 And A♯mtogether they D♯started to G♯grumble and C♯wheeze

 In their F♯huffery-C7snuffery Fmheathen Chinese

 But a A♯mterrible D♯din is what G♯Pollicles C♯like

 For your F♯Pollicle C♯dog is a Fmdour Yorkshire tyke

 There are A♯dogs out of F7eveA♯ry A♯nation

 the FIrish, the C7Welsh and the FDane:

 The G♯Russian, the Dutch, the DalD♯matian,

 and A♯even from A♯/DChina and D♯SpainD♯. F

 The A♯Poodle, the F7PomA♯, the AlsA♯atian

 And the FMastiff who C7walks on a FchaiD♯n.

 And to A♯/Dthose that are F7frisky and A♯frolical,

 Let my A♯meaning be perfectly G♯plaA♯in:

 That my A♯name it is F7litA♯tle Tom A♯Pollicle,

 and you'd A♯better not G♯do it aA♯gain!"

 And his Fmbraw Scottish cousins are snappers and biters

And every dog-jack of them notable fighters

And so they stepped out with their pipers in order

Playing "When the Blue Bonnets Come Over The Border"

 Then the FmPugs and the Poms held no Fmlonger aloof

 But Fmsome from the balcony C7somFe from the Fmroof joined into the din with a

Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark

 UnE/Btil you could FmheaCr them all C7over the Fmpark

Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark

 UnE/Btil you could FmheaCr them all C7over the Fmpark

 Now Fmwhen these bold hereos together assembled

 The Fmtraffic all stopped and the C7undFerground Fmtrembled

 And Fmsome of the neighbours were so much afraid

 That they Fmstarted to ring up the C7FirFe BriFmgade!

 When A♯msuddenly D♯up from a G♯small basement C♯flat

F♯ - C7 D♯--G♯

Why who should stalk out but the Great Rumpus Cat!!!!

His eyes were like fireballs fearfully blazing

He gave a great yawn and his jaws were amazing

And when he looked out through the bars of the area

You never saw anything fiercer....

...Or hairier

 And Fmwhat with a glare of his Fmeyes and his yawning

 The Pekes and the Pollicles C/Fquickly took Fwarning

 He Fmlooked at the sky and he Fmgave a great leap

 And they Fmevery last one of them C/Fscattered like Fmsheep!

C/F Fm

 And A♯mwhen the PoD♯lice dog reG♯turned to his C♯beat

 There E/Bwasn't a FmsinCgle one C7left on the Fmstreet!

E/B---E/B - Fm/C

All hail and all power to the Great Rumpus Cat!!!!

FmJellicle cats and F♯dogFs all must

D♯PolFlicle dogs and Fmcats all must

 Like C♯undertakers F♯7come to dust
