Gato Carpintero

Carpenter Cat
Hey cat come here
come kitty to work
I'll give you a hammer
if you help me to nail.
The saw is here
the wood must be cut
for a ladder
that I can climb on.
You'll see that the ladder
will reach the sky
so, above the clouds
we'll climb to play.
Come on, come hammer
come kitty to saw
but be careful
as you can hurt yourself.
Thank you very much, Kitty
for the help you give;
this is growing,
reaching the blue sky.
One by one you will cut
more steps, more and more
for the ladder
that will reach the clouds.
(Shhh!... Meow!)
Forgive me, little cat
if I nailed your tail!
Carpenter friend
it was my fault unintentionally.
Come kitty to the workshop
I'll put another nail
but don't get close
or it will happen again.
