Lyrics
Maple leaves are tumbling down
So gold, so red, so brown
The air is crisp, the world's aglow
It's autumn's final bow
A clumsy cat with curious paws
Oh, what a sight to see
Perched up high in a maple tree
Stuck like a melody
Clumsy cat, clumsy cat
How'd you get up there like that
Banjo strings and autumn breeze
Tangled tail among the leaves
Clumsy cat, clumsy cat
Don't you leap and don't you chat
We'll get you down, don't you fear
Just hang tight till help is near
The banjo hums a rescue tune
It echoes through the hill
While you sit there
With your whiskers twitching
Frozen still
You chased a leaf, it danced away
It led you to the sky
Now here you are, a clumsy star
Where birds and squirrels fly
The branches sway, the leaves do fall
Hold on tight, don't lose it all
Clumsy cat, clumsy cat
How'd you get up there like that
Banjo strings and autumn breeze
Tangled tail among the leaves
Clumsy cat, clumsy cat
Don't you leap and don't you chat
We'll get you down, don't you fear
Just hang tight till help is near
Oh maple tree, oh autumn air
Hold this feline in your care
He's got nine lives but none to spare
So steady now, be gentle there
