There Are No Cats In America -James Horner --From the movie An American Tail PAPA MOUSEKEWITZ: Our family was traveling Through the snow to Minsk Suddenly Papa Saw those huge paw prints When I heard him screaming I fainted dead away And I woke up an orphan (no chord) Oy vey But... ALL: But! But there are no cats in America And the streets are paved with cheese Oh there are no cats in America So set your mind at ease ITALIAN MOUSE: Ma la cosa terrible Que esiste in la patria mia If you think things were bad in Russia You should see things in my country: The times were hard in Sicily We had no provolone The Don he was a tabby With a taste for my brother Tony When Mama went to plead for him The Don said he would see her We found her rosary on the ground (no chord) Poor Mama mia But... ALL: But there are no cats in America And the streets are paved with cheese Oh there are no cats in America So set your mind at ease IRISH MOUSE: Sure that’s sad but sadder still... When I was but a lad I lost my true love fair A calico he caught us by surprise        In a flash of teeth and fur Her tail was all he left of her ’Neath the heather Is where it tirra-lirra lies          But... ALL: But there are no cats in America And the streets are paved with cheese Oh there are no cats in America And the streets are paved with cheese But there are no cats in America And the streets are paved with cheese But there are no cats in America That is why we sail these seas Dm* = xxx031
