Verse 1.

(G)We used to have a Cat,(C) who never said a word,

(D)The only sounds she ever made were(D7) rarely ever(G) heard.

(G)But sometimes when I fed her, I'd (C)feel like such a fool,

(D)She’d look at me across her plate, and(D7) give a great big (G) Moo.

 Verse 2.

(G)Now people from all over ,(C) loved our Buttercup,

(D)The best darn Cat that's ever lived, but (D7) one day she got (G) stuck.

(G) A Veterinary friend of mine came,(C)  rushing to the scene,

(D) Said," Gosh that Cats a bovine, a (D7) regular milk (G) machine."

 Chorus.

Well he ,(C) scratched his head and looked at me, said, (G) "Buttercups' a Cat?"

(A7) "In all my years I've never seen a feline quite this (D) fat."

(C) "If I'm not mistaken your (G) Buttercup's a Cow,

(A7) For if she were a Kitty Cat, you (D) know she'd go(G)  Meow."

Verse 3.

(G)Well I must admit that I was just a, (C) trifle bit confused;

(D)Misguided though I was, I did (D7) believe that Cats go(G) Moo.

(G) I thought that Cows they went meow and, (C) Rabbits sometimes growl,

(D) But I was flabbergasted when I (D7)  learned my Cat's a (G) Cow.

 Verse 4.

(C) Well that Veterinary friend of mine was (G)  really pretty cool;

(A7)He enrolled my two-ton feline, in a bovinary (D)  school.

(C) Now Buttercups much better, (G)   she has her PHD:

(A7)Specializing in the "Art of Moo" a (D)  very (D7) good  de(G)gree
