Song Parodies -> "“Felis,” Latin, “Cat”"
Original Song Title:
"Feliz Navidad"
Original Performer:
José Feliciano
Parody Song Title:
"“Felis,” Latin, “Cat”"
Parody Written by:
John A. Barry
The Lyrics
“Felis,” Latin, “cat,”
“felis” scans as “cat,”
from Latin begat:
Español, “gato”: et en français, “chat.”
I learned this all from a merry linguist
not called “an appalling, scary linguist.”
I’m enthralled by this merry linguist,
in whose classes I take part.
Felix, cartoon cat,
Felix, hand-drawn cat,
Felix was begat
with a white face and a body that’s black.
Felix’s creator was Otto Messmer,
made up in 1919 by Messmer.
Later, Felix was drawn without whiskers…
born as animation art.
