Original Lyrics
Μιαν ημέρα ένας γάτος
Mιαν ημέρα ένας γάτος βάζει ρούχα σαν πατέρας
παίρνει το γιαλό-γιαλό βρίσκει ποντικούς χορό.
– Πάρτε και μένα βρε ποντίκια για να κάνουμε συντροφλίκια.
Κι έπιασέν τα τα καημένα κι έτρωγέν τα απ' ένα-ένα
έμεινε μια ποντικίνα που ’ταν και γραμματικίνα.
– Μη με τρως εμένα γάτε να σε μαγερεύω ρύζι
να σε μαγερεύω ρύζι να το τρως να σε μυρίζει.
– Θα σε φάω ποντικίνα γιατί ψόφησ’ από την πείνα.
