Katten Och Svansen

The Cat and Its Tail

(Swedish)

Jag ska sjunga en liten stump,
om den lilla katten:
han skulle spring efter sin svans,
men han fick inte fatt'en.
Katten sprang, och svansen slang,
katten sprang, och svansen slang.
Denna visa är inte lång,
vi kan sjunga den än en gång.

(Repeat as many times as desired.)

Last verse is same as all the others except
that the last line is changed to:

men nu tar vi en annan sång.

(English)

I'll sing a little song
About the little cat:
He was to chase his own tail,
But wouldn't catch it.
The cat ran and the tail swung,
The cat ran and the tail swung.
This story isn't long,
We can sing it once again.

(Repeat as many times as desired.)

Last verse is same as all the others except
that the last line is changed to:

But now let's sing another song
