Three cats decided to swim the English Channel
Setting off from Calais and hoping to land at Beachy Head
But I have a sad story to tell you
For I must report that all the cats ore now dead

They had entered the water at Calais
They were numbered one, two and three
But one thing they had not expected
Was how cold the waters of the Channel would be

They had practised their swimming in warm water
Which was contained in a very large tank
When they entered the water, they were shocked by the cold
And as a result – Une Deux, Trois, Quatre Cinq……..!
