The Siamese Cat Song Lyrics
We are Siamese if you please
We are Siamese if you don't please
We are former residents of Siam
There are no finer cat than I am
We are Siamese if you please
We are Siamese if you don't please
Now we looking over our new domicile
If we like we stay for maybe quite a while
Do you seeing that thing swimming roun' and roun'
Maybe we could reaching in and make it drown
If we sneaking up upon it carefully
There will be a head for you, a tail for me
Do you hear what I hear? A baby cry
Where we finding baby there are milk nearby
If we look in baby buggy there could be
Plenty milk for you, and also some for me! The Lady and the Tramp
(1955)
Who Sang the Siamese Cat Song? For the film, both Si and Am's voices were recorded by Peggy Lee, who also played the parts of Darling and Peg (an old dog and showgirl Lady meets when she is caught and taken to a dog pound). The music was written by Sonny Burke, and Peggy Lee wrote the words to the song as well as many other songs in the movie. This fascinating historical clip, introduced by 'Uncle' Walt Disney himself, shows how the story, the music and the song all came together. And if you've never seen the movie, the storyboard outline shown here will give you a feel for it. A Footnote
In 2004, almost fifty years after it was first sung by Peggy Lee, The Siamese Cat Song was re-recorded by sisters Hilary and Haylie Duff for the album DisneyMania 2. Skippyjon Jones, The Grannyman and Bits & Pieces, by Judy Schachner
