There once was a cat, who liked to subtract, who liked making things go away...
One day she spied mice and she treated them nice,
And asked 3 of them to stay put and play…
They played in the park and out on the beach, they played as the day turned to night
But when the mice were distracted, the cat then subtracted
3 minus 1 was all right…
Now, it's time for everyone to sing!

Well just 2 mice remained to play cat and mouse games,
And they had so much cat and mouse fun
They went off to the zoo, and to the children’s museum
They enjoyed ice cream in the hot sun
But the thing that occurred, well subtraction’s the word,
Because the number of mice was then one
Just one mouse remained to play cat and mouse games
Subtraction still seemed like good fun…
Now it's time for everyone to sing
Subtraction Cat. What’s up with that?
Don’t eat the mice, Or you might get fat!

The cat and the 3rd mouse, Well, they painted the house,
They baked cakes and some other sweet snacks
They swam in the creek and they played hide and seek
and they set up toy railroad tracks!
But at the end of the day, well, what could we say?
Cat got right into math action…
Now what had cat done?
Because now there were none
Zero’d been made by subtraction
Now it's time for everyone to sing
Subtraction Cat. What’s up with that?
Don’t eat the mice or you might get fat!

Cat woke up real early and she got up so surly,
She didn’t like feeling alone
She wished she had friends, yes 8, 9, or 10
To enjoy playing games in her home
She wished and she wished, and what happened was this
She heard mouse steps, fall on the floor
and she jumped up for joy, and she let out a meow
as she ran to a tiny brown door…
The door opened real wide, and from somewhere inside
out marched the 3 little mice
The cat was so pleased she brought all of them cheese
She hugged all 3 mice at least twice!
And they ate for a while as they laughed and they smiled
Cat would never eat any sweet mouse
She’d brought them all home so she wouldn't feel all alone
great company in the cat’s house…
And the moral that’s here, is one that’s really quite clear
let’s say it before this song ends…
It’s that you ‘d probably be clever, To never, ever, not ever,
Subtract your closest 3 friends!
and having 3 friends is always so great
