Lyrics[]
The Cat in the Hat: I am, indeed, a cat, and this, indeed, is a hat.
In English: cat, hat
In French: chat, chapeau
It really is quite obvious, and don't you know?
In English: cat, hat
In French: chat, chapeau
Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, here we go!
(Can-Can plays)
I repeat: cat, hat
In French: chat, chapeau
In Spanish, el gato in a sombrero.
Kids: He's a cat in a hat, he's a chat in a chapeau.
He also is a gato in a sombrero. Ole! Ole! Ole, ole, o!
(Mariachi band music plays)
The Cat in the Hat: [spoken: Where were we? Oh yes!] Cat, hat: in French, chat chapeau
In Spanish, el gato in a sombrero.
And I'll tell you something more, now you listen to me gut.
In German I'm a katze und dies ist mein hut
Ist das nicht ein katze hut?
Kids: Ja, das ist ein katze hut
Katze hut, katze hut
Ja, das ist ein katze hut
(Schnitzelbank plays)
The Cat in the Hat: Now, if you're in a receptive state of mind I'll recapitulate.
(Plays piano keys fast)
Cat, hat: in French, chat, chapeau. In Spanish, el gato in a sombrero.
In German, I'm a katze in a hut and don't you know. I'm a gwonka in a bonkequank... in Eskimo.
The Fish: You're a gwonka in a bonkequank in Eskimo?
The Cat in the Hat: Right.
Kids: He's a gwonka in a bonkequank in Eskimo.
Ist das nicht ein bonkequank? Ja, das ist ein bonkequank.
Gwonka bonka, gwonka bonka. Yes indeedy, that is so.
He's a gwonka in a bonkequank in Eskimo.
The Fish: Now, to be certain that I have this straight, I'll re-recapitulate.
Cat hat, in French: chat chapeau. (The Cat in the Hat: Good!)
In Spanish, you're a gato in a sombrero. (The Cat in the Hat: Hmm.)
In German, you're a katze in a hut, I also know. (The Cat in the Hat: Perfect!) You're a gwonka in a bonkequank in Eskimo.
The Cat in the Hat: By George, I think he’s got it.
The Fish: Now, if you will allow me, sir, But please don't think I'm pushing. I think that I can tell you what, you are in-in-in Russian! Watch!
Shapka, shylapa. You're a shapka in a shylapa. Hey!
The Cat in the Hat: I am? Why that’s splendid!
I'm a shapka in a shylapa (x8)
That's enough of that. I'm a cat in a hat.
