Ding Dong Bell
Pussy's in the well.

There's a funny little cat
with a tummy nice and fat
He's won picture fame,
Felix is his name,
Got a funny little walk
Whiskers on his chin.
And no matter where he goes
or what occurs to him.

Felix keeps on walking
keeps on walking still
with his hands behind him
you will always find him.
Blew him up with dynamite
but him they couldn't kill.
Miles up in the air he flew
He just murmured "Toodleoo."
Landed down in Timbuctoo
and kept on walking still.

Felix kept on walking
kept on walking still
One day he was collared
by a whale and swaller'd
in the tummy of that whale
he found himself but still
all the same he never frowned
he just smiled and then looked round
thought it was the "Underground"
and kept on walking still.

Way out on a funny isle
Felix met a crocodile,
It just gave a cough,
Blew his whiskers off.
Then he walked for miles and miles,
Till his feet were raw,
Thought he'd have a rest
but when Alison there he saw.

Felix kept on walking
kept on walking still
Cannibals then caught him
tasty bit they thought him.
Skinned him like a rabbit
he was so "cut up" until
a nigger's scalp he noticed there
stuck it on where he felt bare
Raised his hat and said: "There's hair."
and kept on walking still.

Felix kept on walking
kept on walking still
by a train at Dover
had his tail run over
on the rail he left his tail
it gave the folks a thrill,
Still for that he didn't care
though he had no rudder there
wagged his "nothing" in the air,
and kept on walking still.

He's so full of funny tricks
gave some sawdust to the chicks,
now instead of eggs,
they lay table legs,
on poor Auntie's powder puff
"Hair restorer" placed
then when he saw Auntie put
that Tatcho on her face.

Felix kept on walking
kept on walking still
now poor Auntie Eva
has a full grown "beaver"
on the tiles he went last night
those tabby cats to thrill
met a Frenchy cat named Lou
She said: "Do you parley vous?"
He said: "Yes, but not with you."
and kept on walking still.

Felix kept on walking
kept on walking still
someone tried to drown him
with a brick tied round him
shoved him in the rain tub there
but him they couldn't kill
started lapping with his tongue
till that water all was done,
then he crept out though the bung
and kept on walking still.
Kept on walking,
Kept on walking
Kept on walking still!
