Then came the cat
And ate the kid  (chorus)

Then came the dog
And bit the cat
That ate the kid  (chorus)

3
Then came the stick and beat the dog
That bit the cat
That ate the kid  (chorus)

4
Then came the fire
And burned the stick
That beat the dog
That bit the cat
That ate the kid  (chorus)

5
Then came the water
And quenched the fire
That burned the stick
That beat the dog
That bit the cat
That ate the kid  (chorus)

6
Then came the ox
And drank the water
That quenched the fire
That burned the stick
That beat the dog
That bit the cat
That ate the kid  (chorus)

Then came the butcher
And killed the ox
That drank the water
That quenched the fire
That burned the stick
That beat the dog
That bit the cat
That ate the kid  (chorus)

Then came the Angel of Death
And slew the butcher
That killed the ox
That drank the water
That quenched the fire
That burned the stick
That beat the dog
That bit the cat
That ate the kid  (chorus)

9
Then came the Holy One, blessed be God,
And destroyed the Angel of Death
That slew the butcher
That killed the ox
That drank the water
That quenched the fire
That burned the stick
That beat the dog
That bit the cat
That ate the kid  (chorus)
