In a house built upon a hill
By a man with art in his mind
A sanctuary with warmth was there
Even the cats could readily find

The cats would frolic and play
In a house built upon a hill
The builder quietly watched
There was no danger still

Then lo! A cat took into its mind
In a house built upon a hill
It saw a crack and something broken!
The builder, oh fix it he will!

In a house built upon a hill
By a man with art in his mind
A cat wanted more things, attention
It had a profession to soon find

The cats would gather and pray
In a house built upon a hill
Oh builder give us what we need!
Or welcome the mice we will!

Then lo! Their threats were potent!
In a house built on a hill
Who would give it these things
Oh the Cat Crier that yowled still!
