Meow Kitty! 3rd and Bird

# Bird

# 3rd and Bird

# Where the birdies meet just above the street

# To sing tweedle-li-de

# 3rd

# 3rd and Bird

# Where a bird or two can play peek-a-boo

# On the avenue

# 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd and Bird. #

Meow!

Meow Kitty!

Good kick, Muffin!

Thank you, Samuel.

Right. Get ready!

1, 2, 3!

Whoops. Oh-oh!

That's OK, Muffin. We'll get it back.

It must be somewhere around here.

Hiss!

THEY SCREAM

# Run away, run away We've got to leave right now

# What was that strange looking thing? I think it said... #

-Meow!

-THEY SCREAM

-# ..Fluffy hair

-Four big paws

-# Nasty teeth

-Sharp claws

# And those were just its outer flaws

-# Run away!

-Run away!

# Muffin, I don't think I've ever been this scared before

# Samuel, what is it?

# I'm not even sure

# It goes swipe, it goes hiss

# No more time to reminisce

# Don't dilly dally, don't delay Just run, run, run away

# Muffin tired, let's go slow

# Not an option, go, go, go!

-# Did it follow us?

-I don't know

# Run, run, run away!

# Run, run, run away! #

MUFFIN PANTS

Samuel, Muffin, whatever is the matter?

There's...something scary in the tree.

Something scary in the tree?

-Beaky help!

-Now, now, just calm down, children.

Tell me, what did this something look like?

Well, it had four legs

and four paws.

-Pointy ears.

-Sharp teeth.

-It goes "Hiss!"

Hmm. Hiss? Yes, yes.

Did you, by any chance, hear this animal say "Meow!"?

-Oh, yes! It said "Meow!"

-Ah-ha! "Meow!"

Muffin, Samuel, I believe what we are dealing with

-is a cat.

-A cat?

-A cat?

Yes, they're perfectly harmless.

Not to worry, children, I will get the cat out of our tree.

Why, it's only a baby cat! We call them kittens. Or kitties.

Mr Beakman, do you think you can get rid of the kitty?

Of course I can.

MR BEAKMAN CLEARS THROAT

# If you want a cat to disappear

# There's just one thing to do

# Step right up and say these words

# And that cat, it will leave you

# Shoo, cat, shoo! Be on your way!

# Scram, go home, vamoose!

# Shoo, cat, shoo! What's the hold-up?

# I'll hear no excuse

# Shoo, cat, shoo! You get the picture

# Don't be so naive

# All I'm asking you to do is leave, kitty, leave... #

Meow!

Perhaps I'm not making myself quite clear.

# Kitten, you must trust me

# I don't mean you any harm

# But your tendency to hiss and paw has caused us some alarm... #

-Hiss!

-Waaa!

-What are you doing, Mr Beakman?

-Beaky?

Children, perhaps it would be best

if we told the cat to shoo together.

-Shoo!

-Shoo!

-Shoo!

# Shoo, cat, shoo! Just leave, skidaddle

# Let's not be absurd

# You can go most anywhere...

# But please leave 3rd and Bird. #

-Shoo!

-Shoo!

-Shoo!

-Do you hear us, kitty? Shoo!

-Hiss!

-Waaaa! Run!

Poor kitty.

All alone.

Oh, I think we're safe, Samuel.

We can walk from here.

-Um, Mr Beakman...

-I have to admit,

that kitty did scare me when she hissed.

Mr Beakman!

-Where is Muffin?

-Muffin? Why, she's...

She's... I don't know. Come along.

Oh, no! Samuel, Muffin's hopping towards the kitten!

-But she'll get hurt!

-I can't bear to look!

Hi, kitty.

Meow!

Good kitty. Muffin no hurt you.

KITTEN PURRS

Mr Beakman, look!

Yes, the kitten is purring.

That means she likes Muffin.

# No worry, kitty

# Kitty, no cry

# Oh, pretty kitty, no be shy

# Have no fear now Muffin's here

-# Muffin promise kitty be OK... #

-KITTEN PURRS

Mr Beakman! KITTEN MIAOWS

Be still, be silent!

KITTEN MIAOWS

It's OK.

# No worry, kitty, no be blue

# Muffin now will stay with you

# Have no fear now Muffin here

# Muffin promise kitty be OK. #

KITTEN PURRS

Muffin, are you all right?

Yes, Samuel. Kitty's scared.

-SHE'S scared?!

-Ah-ha. Scared.

-Like Beaky.

-Well, I...

But what is SHE scared of?

Maybe the kitten is scared to be on our tree.

Perhaps she wants to go back to her family...

on the ground.

You're right, Samuel.

-KITTEN MIAOWS

-Kitty need help.

-But how do we get the kitten down? Hmm.

-Hmm.

-Hmm.

I know! If we make a basket for the kitten to sit in,

we can lower her down to the ground.

Samuel, I think that just might work.

Let's give it a go!

-KITTEN MIAOWS

-Yay! Save Kitty!

# Let's gather up the twigs and sticks

# We'll use this sap for glue

# Throw some leaves into the mix

# There's so much work to do

# The kitten scared us at first sight

# We didn't even know her!

# But now, we'll work to set things right

# By helping her get lower

ALL: # Save the kitty

# We found her in the tree

# But the tree isn't where

# The kitty's meant to be

# We'll work to keep her safe and sound

# Until that kitty's on the ground

# We'll save that kitty

# Save that kitty

# Oh, heave the sticks onto the pile

# And weave them all together

# See, the work just flies on by

# When we all lend a feather

# Though we flew away at first

# We flew back in the end

# This thing that seemed so scary then

# Now just needs a friend

ALL: # Save the kitty

# We found her in the tree

# But the tree isn't where

# The kitty's meant to be

# We'll work to keep her safe and sound

# Until she gets down

# To the ground

# We saved that kitty! #

-Meow!

-Bye, kitty.

# Do the muffin, the muffin

# Shake-a-shake, the muffin

# Ah, ah, ooh!

# Da-da, the muffin!

# Da-da, the muffin! #
