Googly Eyed Cat Button
It is Fleet Week and I’m getting dressed to go out on the town. First stop is the Tonga Room for Coconut Shrimp, and later on to the Li Po Cocktail Lounge for drinks. I’m wearing my oldest traditional black leather biker jacket, a yellow and blue stripped pullover, and 13 button navy pin wale corduroy sailor pants with 13 yellow googly-eyed kitty cat buttons. I sing lustily along with Gilbert & Sullivan’s “HMS Pinafore“
“When I was a lad I served a term
As office boy to an Attorney’s firm
I cleaned the windows and I swept the floor
And I polished up the handle of the big front door
He polished up the handle of the big front door
I polished up that handle so carefully
That now I am the Ruler of the Queen’s Navy”
