1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Corky the cheetah is number 84
He came knock knocking upon my door.
When he looked through the window,
We were hiding on the floor.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 We were scared, you see,
Of his sharp and shiny teeth.
So we dived on the carpet
And hid under our seat.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 We then found out
He was a cute and kindly cat
Plays football with the kids
In Douglas every Sat.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 So if you see Corky
He won’t eat you alive
Don’t be scared of him
Just give him a high five.
