Cat Songs

A children’s song, Señor Don Gato tells the story of a house cat who receives a letter from his sweetheart telling him she has accepted his marriage proposal.

In his excitement, Don Gato (who was sitting on a roof) falls to the ground. His injuries are so bad that he dies. But as his funeral procession passes the general market, the strong aroma of fish brings him to life.
