When it's late and the world is sleeping
Our little black cat
No bigger than that
Has a date which she's keen on keeping
No use dissuading her
She's serenading her
Beau
In this garden below

She sings "Oh, won't you chase me, Charlie
Chase me, Charlie, over the garden wall
I'd like to wander for miles and miles
Wreathed in smiles
Out on the tiles
With you
Chase me Charlie, chase me, Charlie
Don't be afraid to fall
Love in the moonlight can be sublime
Now's the time
Charlie, I'm
Waiting for you if you'll only climb
Over the garden wall."

Every night at about eleven
Our little cat knows
Our little cat goes
Quick as light to her private heaven
No use restraining her
She's set on gaining her
Prize
With her amorous cries
Hypnotizing him
"Chase me, Charlie, chase me, Charlie
Over the garden wall
Why should we care if the neighbors shout?
Please come out
Let's fool about
A bit
Chase me, Charlie, chase me, Charlie
I'll be your all in all
If you'll appear and be gay with me
Play with me
Stay with me
Any suggestion's okay with me
Over the garden wall."

"Chase me, Charlie, chase me, Charlie
Over the garden wall
Why not give into the joys of spring?
Have a fling
Why are you lingering?
Chase me, Charlie, chase me, Charlie
This is my final call
Pussycat, pussycat, don't be coy
Jump for joy
Oi, oi, oi!
Straighten your whiskers and attaboy
Over the garden wall."
