Music – With Cat-like – Ku-Ring-Gai Male Choir

With Cat-like Tread

This is a song from the Pirates of Penzance

[Chorus OF PIRATES]
With Cat-Like Tread
Upon our prey we steal!
In silence dread
Our cautious way we feel!
No sound at all
We never speak a word
A fly’s foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard!

[Chorus OF POLICE]
Ta-ran, ta-ra!
Ta-ran, ta-ra

[Chorus OF PIRATES]
So stealthily the pirate creeps
While all the household soundly sleeps!

Come friends, who plough the sea
Truce to navigation
Take another station
Let’s vary piracy
With a little burglary!

Come friends, who plough the sea
Truce to navigation
Take another station
Let’s vary piracy
With a little burglary!

Here is a version by the Indiana Mens Chorus
