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