How Scratch Cat became the Scratch Mascot - Lyrics ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Lyrics by @Scratch-Minion Many years ago, the Scratch Team tried to choose a Scratch Mascot To the tune of "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General". Scratch Antelope, Scratch Butterfly, Scratch Dinosaur or Elephant; Scratch Fox, Scratch Goose, Scratch Horse or else "What do you think?"; Scratch Iguana, Jellyfish, Kangaroo or Ladybird. Would Scratch Macaroni Penguin or Neapolitan Mastiff be too absurd? Scratch Octopus, Scratch Porcupine, Quetzal or Rhinoceros; Scratch Squirrel, Scratch Toucan, or is Unicorn the name for us? Scratch Vampire Bat, Scratch Woodpecker, Let's not even bother with X; Maybe Scratch Yak or Scratch Zebra would suit Scratch the best? The Scratch Team paused, and just like that in wandered a moggie who became Scratch Cat!
