Song Lyric:

There's a patch, on my arm,

There's a patch, in my car,

Natural, that's the patch,

That's the patch, that's the patch,

Da da dum...

Michael Jankie's Postman Patch

There's a patch, on my cat,

There's a patch, on my hat,

On my cat? On my cat,

And my mat? Yes in fact,

Da da dum...
