Old Deuteronomy

I believe it is Old Deuteronomy.

Well of all things, can it be really?
Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering, but I confess,
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy.

Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time,
he's a cat who had lived many lives in succession.
He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme.
A long while before Queen Victoria's accession.

Old Deuteronomy's buried nine wives,
And more, I am tempted to say ninety-nine.
And his numerous progeny prospes and thrives.
And the village is proud of him in his decline.

At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomi,
when he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall.
The oldest inhabitant croaks:

Well of all things, can it be really?
Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering but I confess,
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy.

Well of all things, can it be really?
Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering, but I confess,
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy.

Well of all things, can it be really?
Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering, but I confess,
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy.

Well of all things, can it be really?
Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!

My legs may be tottery, I must go slow.
And be careful of Old Deuteronomy.
