It wouldn't be the first day of Summer without me repeating the song that I first posted on Cat Chat on June 21st 2010, (it was called "Cat Chat" back then), it has now become our little tradition...Enjoy!
This should be Meowed or sung to the tune of Mungo Jerry's classic "In The Summertime".......
"purr purr-purr uh, purr purr-purr, uh
purr purr-purr, uh, purr purr-purr, uh..."
"In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right out and be on your favorite cot,
When the weather's fine
You got playing, you got romping on your mind
Have some nip, have a climb
Go out and see what you can find"
"If her Daddy's rich, take her out for some filet,
If her Daddy's poor, just stay in and play,
Speed around the house,
really speed, really speeeed big time my friend,
When the sun goes down, you can make it
make it home before day's end"
"We're no threat, we kitties, we're not dirty, we're not mean
We love everybody, but we do as we please
When the weather's fine
We go fishing or go climbing up some trees
We're always happy
Life's for living, yeah that's our "felineosophy"
"Sing along with us, mew-mew-mew-mew-mew
purr-purr-purr-purr-purr yeah, we're hap-happy.......
mew-mew-mew-mew-mew...."
"Purr purr-purr, uh, purr purr-purr, uh
Purr purr-purr, uh, purr purr-purr, uh...."
"When the winter's here, yeah it's sleepy time
Bring a toy mouse
Wear your finest fur, it'll soon be summertime
And we'll sing again
We'll go jumpin' or maybe we'll settle down
If she's got "noms" or if she's got mice
Bring your kitty friends and we'll all go into town...."
Happy First Day Of Summer All!!
Make This A Great Summer For You And Your Favorite Felines!!
Thanks to Mungo Jerry's "In The Summertime" for the inspiration for this parody.
Happy first day of summer, Cody. Looks like you're having a great time already. So fun.
ReplyDeleteI linked this post to Feline Friday.
Have a purrfect day and weekend. My best to your mom. ♥
Happy Summer cutie! XO
ReplyDeleteHappy first day of summer. Looks like you got some good planned activities!
ReplyDeleteCody, it's GLORIOUS outside today! We just finished a picnic at the office; wonderful sunshine, good folks, and the breeze is to die for!
ReplyDeleteYes it IS glorious, but we haven't gone out yet! Hoping to get out this weekend. I used to love outside picnics when I worked in an office.......perfect day for it!
DeleteWhat a fun post! Love the photograph of Cody fishing for Dakota.

Maggie, Mickey Mouser, Rufus the Red, and Ernie
thank you! that's one of my faves too! xoxo
DeleteMOL, MOL! Loved your meowsinging!
ReplyDeleteAnd Hooray, the sun IS out here too! Maybe the soggy yard will get a bit drier so the peeps don't go squishy when they have to mow that mile high grass...
Happy Summmertime!
PS: We can't seem to get our comments to show up on Dakota's blog, nor any WP blogs for that matter...sigh...
thank you!!!! I hope it dries for you too!! That is so strange about Dakota's blog, Terry (Brian's Home) mentioned the same thing. I have no clue why that is happening but you did make me feel better that it is happening to you on all WordPress blogs (I am not happy it's happening, but I am happy it isn't just Dakota's!). Wish I knew how to fix it! (if there is a fix).
DeleteHappy first day of summer! With our cold spring and cool temps even now (for the most part), this will be the "hottest" thing of the season. :-P
ReplyDeletewe have had the same weather as you, crazy! Starting today we are having "summer-like" temps...you probably will too!
DeleteWe enjoyed your song and your pics too! Happy Summer to all of you!
ReplyDeletethanks so much!!!! Happy Summer! Hoping Lexi is doing better!
DeleteAww, that last photo is over-the-top adorable! It's overcast and cloudy here on the first day of summer.
ReplyDeleteHappy First Day of Summer to you Too!!! We love the laying on the beach photo and you getting some rays of the lounge chairs. Too cute. Thanks for the share. Have a pawsome upcoming weekend.
ReplyDeleteWorld of Animals
Cody, you are so sweet! We hope Summer brings you all that you hope it does!
ReplyDeleteAfter 2 weeks of torrential rain and temperatures in the low 40s, summer arrived today! Happy Summer Solstice!
ReplyDeleteHooray for Summer Cody, I’ll join the beach pawty!
ReplyDeleteHappy Summer Solstice! Although I have to say, we're a little bit unhappy with it here - it RAINED (yes, in southern California!) this morning and it has been gray all day. Hmph.
ReplyDeleteHappy Summer!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful musical post for a perfect day. It's been into the 90's here regularly, and when it does rain it doesn't last or cool things down much. Have an awesome weekend!
ReplyDeletethank you!!! But...please keep the 90s there! 80s are as high as we wanna go!
DeleteThat is one of our favorite songs and you made it even better because I think your lyrics are better than the original. Very creative mama Caren!!!
ReplyDeleteAwww you are BEYOND sweet! Thank you!! xoxo
DeleteHappy Summer, Cody and Caren! We loved what you did with that song. :)
ReplyDeletethanks dear furiends! Happy Summer!
DeleteWhat a great summertime parody for a post great job. Now if we can get rid of all this rain and get some warm weather and sun we'll be in good shape. LOL
ReplyDeletethank you!!! We have sunshine and warm temps today! Will send some your way!
DeleteAlways love this fun post and what’s not to celebrate the longest day of the year!
ReplyDeleteWe have a three day weekend here and we’re happy the sun is finally out!
It’s ‘nip time let’s celebrate Cody!
CATZOWEY! Theeeee longest day of the year hit my house in San Franfuncisco at 8:54 am and I was catnapping after Staff served me and myself a purrrfecto breakfast. Pssst I just didn't feel like I got an extra nano meowvalous second of catnapping but purrrrhaps I catnapped through the longest day of the year! Hoorayzatini!
ReplyDeleteLove it so much!!
