Caterina, where's your sister,
Is she coming out to play,
Tell her that I'm waiting here,
She knows we're going out today.
Caterina, you're very sweet I know,
But oh what can I say,
Here is sixpence,
Go and tell her that it's our half-term holiday.
We were going to the zoo but not with you,
So go and have yourself some fun,
It's nice in the planetarium.
Oh Caterina, do not let the tears cloud up those big brown eyes,
Be a good girl,
We will let you feed the hippopotami.
We are going to the zoo, so are you,
But darling, please don't clap when they feed the lion,
And don't give sweets to the crocodiles.
Caterina, be a good girl,
You know you can when you want to be,
Jesus said that little children,
Live in heaven so you see.
Oh Caterina, where's your sister,
Is she coming out to play,
Tell her that I'm waiting here,
Because we're going out today.
