This was no time for play.
This was no time for fun.
This was no time for games.
There was work to be done.

All that deep,
Deep, deep snow,
All that snow had to go.
When our mother went
Down to the town for the day,
She said, "Somebody has to
Clean all this away.
Somebody, SOMEBODY
Has to, toi see."
Then she picked out two Somebodies.
Sally and me.

There we were.
We were working like that
And then who should come up
But the CAT IN THE HAT!
"Oh-oh!" Sally said.
"Don't toi talk to that cat.
That cat is a bad one,
That Cat in the Hat.
He plays lots of bad tricks.
Don't toi let him come near.
You know what he did...
