When Kitty Eyes Are Smiling music traditional, words Marc Gunn 10/2/2003 This cat song is based on the Irish American folk song and St Patrick's Day song favorite, "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling". The songs is a joyful look at the playful and sometimes distructive, but always sweet nature of cats. Look for it on my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers CD. There's a kitty eye, watching something dart by Though he may've seen nothing at all. Be it game or alive, he wiggles his hind Then tackles it with his claws. For a cat roams around like a lion on the prow And jumps on your shelf with a sprong So he can meow from great heights and croon through the night Til it all crashes down, then he's gone. When kitty eyes are smiling All the world it is their play With a leap a cat is soaring Now your shoe lace is his prey When kitty hearts are happy Against your leg, you'll feel them rub And when kitty eyes are smiling Sure, you can't help falling in love. When your sweet kitty's kneeding, some biscuits and dreaming His cat motor purrs with delight Sure, he wakes with sleepy eyes, then the sofa he spies And scratches his claws on the side. While you're writing a song, you'll know something is wrong When he lies on your paper to rest You will laugh all the while and then you will smile As he falls asleep on your desk. When kitty eyes are smiling All the world it is their play With a leap a cat is soaring Now your sporran is his prey When kitty hearts are happy Against your leg, you'll feel them rub And when kitty eyes are smiling Sure, you can't help falling in love.

Another fabulous cat song Marc. I think you deserve extra points for usage of the word sprong. Very fun song.
