Changes: The Siamese Cat Song

Latest revision as of 00:11, 17 December 2023

"The Siamese Cat Song" (sometimes known as "We Are Siamese") is the fourth song of the 1955 Disney animated feature film Lady and the Tramp sung by Si and Am, Aunt Sarah's two Siamese cats. They sing it when Lady first meets them; and during it, they cause much destruction in the house which ends up on her head. They are voiced by Peggy Lee, who recorded her voice twice to get the effect of both of them singing in this song.

Lyrics

Si and Am:
We are Siamese if you please
We are Siamese if you don't please
Now we lookin' over our new domicile
If we like we stay for maybe quite a while

Si: (speaking) Do you seeing that thing swimming round and round?
Am: (speaking) Yes. Maybe we can reaching in and make it drown.
Si: (speaking) If we sneaking up upon it carefully...
Am: There will be a head for you, a tail for me

Si: (speaking) Do you hear what I hear?
Am: (speaking) A baby cry?
Where we finding baby, there are milk nearby

Si and Am: If we look in baby buggy there could be
Si: Plenty milk for you and also some for me

We are Siameeiz if you pleeiz
We are Siameeiz if you don't please.
We are former residents of Siam.
There are no finer cat than we am.

We are Siamese with very dainty claws,
Please observing paws containing dainty claws.
Now we lookin' over our new domicile,
If we like we stay for maybe quite awhile.

Who is that who's living in that wire house?
It must be a bird because it's not a mouse.
If we sneakin' up upon it carefully,
There will be some bird for you and some for me.

Do you seeing that thing swimmin' 'round and 'round?
Maybe we could reaching in and make it drown.
If we sneakin' up upon it carefully,
There will be a head for you a tail for me.

Trivia

The song is one of the very few villain songs to be performed on the Disneymania series. It is sung by Haylie and Hilary Duff on the second volume and B5 on the fifth.
An underscore of this song plays during Mickey's introduction sequence to Wednesday's "Anything Can Happen Day" on the original Mickey Mouse Club series.
The song "Asia", as heard in Disney Sing Along Songs: Flik's Musical Adventure at Disney's Animal Kingdom is set to the tune of this song.
Bobby McFerrin sings the song in Simply Mad About the Mouse.
In the 2019 remake, the song was replaced by a jazz number titled "What a Shame", as the original song was deemed inappropriate due to the cats' accents, stereotypical facial features, and pidgin English.
The song was included on the VHS Disney Sing Along Songs: Heigh-Ho and Disney Sing Along Songs: Honor to Us All.
