The words
C is for Cata Pillar, Cata Pillar, Cata Pillar!
C is for Cata Pillar – kuh, kuh, C!
Kuh-kuh-cat with a curly tail, kuh-kuh-cup and a little pail,
kuh-kuh-cake with a candle on top, C is for Cata Pillar – hop, hop, hop!
Kuh-kuh-car going round the bend, kuh-kuh-cow is a moo-moo friend,
kuh-kuh-carrot, crunch, crunch, crunch, C is for Cata Pillar – munch, munch, munch!
Curl up, Cata Pillar – round like a moon on a tree, curl up, Cata Pillar – look, she's a C!
Kuh-kuh-castle, way up high, kuh-kuh-cloud floating in the sky,
kuh-kuh-cookie, yum, yum, yum, C is for Cata Pillar – here we come!
Say it with me: kuh! Say it again: kuh! Clap your hands: kuh! Tap your knees: kuh!
Kuh-kuh-crab on the sandy shore, kuh-kuh-coat when the wind blows more,
kuh-kuh-camera – smile, click, click! C is for Cata Pillar – quick, quick, quick!
