Lyrics: Anon

Un jour Catin, venant d'être battue,
Vit un gros chat qui mangeait la chosette.
A collinet de couroux fut émue,
Dont lui a dit: "Vous qui battez les gens,
Chassez ce chat, assez perdons de biens;
Gardez celui qui sert à la couchette".

So one day Catin's been thrashed,
and she's seeing this fat cat noshing this titbit.
She's getting the hump big time,
so she's like: "You that beats folks,
shoo this cat away, we lose enough treats;
protect the one that uses the daybed."
