With Cat-Like Tread, Upon Our Prey We Steal

With cat-like tread
 Upon our prey we steal
 In silence dread
 Our cautious way we feel
 No sound at all
 We never speak a word
 A fly's foot-fall
 Would be distinctly heard
 Tarantara, tarantara
 So stealthily the pirate creeps
 While all the household soundly sleeps
 
 Come friends, who plough the sea
 Truce to navigation
 Take another station
 Let's vary piracy
 With a little burglary
 Come friends, who plough the sea
 Truce to navigation
 Take another station
 Let's vary piracy
 With a little burglary
 Here's your crowbar
 And your center bit
 Your life preserver
 You may want to hit
 Your silent matches
 Your dark lantern seize
 Take your file
 And your skeletonic keys
 Tarantara
 With cat-like tread
 Tarantara
 In silence dread
 With cat-like tread
 Upon our prey we steal
 In silence dread
 Our cautious way we feel
 No sound at all
 We never speak a word
 A fly's foot-fall
 Would be distinctly heard
 Come friends, who plough the sea
 Truce to navigation
 Take another station
 Let's vary piracy
 With a little burglary
 With cat like tread
 Upon our prey we steal
 In silence dread
 Our cautious way we feel
 Come friends, who plough the sea
 Truce to navigation
 Take another station
 Let's vary piracy
 With a little burglary
 With cat-like tread
 Upon our prey we steal
 In silence dread
 Our cautious way we feel
