Listening comprehension - full text

Published on 14 September 2022 at 08:56

In last week's blog, I talked about using ‘gap songs’ as listening comprehensions. This week, I’m simply going to let you know the full text for Kitty Cat Blues, the song I used as an example. If you tried it out, please do let us know how it went in the comments section below. And if by any slim chance you’d like to use it for a gap song lesson, just let me know 😊

Woke up this morning

The humans ignored me.

And I really thought

Those humans adored me. 

 

But they both just snored

And I got really bored

I SO wanted to eat

So I jumped on their feet…

 

Chorus :

I got the Kitty Cat Blues

I wanna know where all the food went

And I’m hell bent

On finding the stash

Before I have a blood sugar crash.

Oh yeah…


(spoken)

And then things’ll get really blue,

I’m tellin’ you…

 

Woke up this morning

They were snoring again.

And I hadn’t eaten

Since a quarter past ten.

 

I meowed and I yowled

And they slept on right through

It was then that I knew

What I had to do….


Chorus :

I got the Kitty Cat Blues

I wanna know where all the food went

And I’m hell bent

On finding the stash

Before I have a blood sugar crash.

 

Oh yeah…

 

So you know what I did?

I sold the cat nip.

And what I did then?

I went on a trip.

And what I did then?

I bought me some tuna

And I don’t know why

I didn’t think of it sooner…

 

Chorus X2
