The Soulpass Project

According to the IMDB soundtrack listing for Lady and Tramp, the actual name of the song is just “Siamese Cat Song” and it’s by Sonny Burke & Peggy Lee.

The chord transcription may not be perfect, but I believe that it is at least close, and it certainly seems to work with the vocals. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong here.

A
We are Siamese if you please
                      Cm
We are Siamese if you don't please
Cm
Now we lookin' over our new domicile
E                            A
If we like we stay for maybe quite a while

A
Do you seeing that thing swimming round and round? (Yesss)
                               Cm
Maybe we could reachin' in and make it drown (Meow)
Cm
If we sneaking up upon it carefully
E                               A
There will be a head for you, a tail for me

A
Do you hear what I hear? A baby cry
                                Cm
Where we finding baby there are milk near by
Cm
If we look in baby buggy there could be
E                            A
Plenty milk for you and also some for me

The original recording is in the key of Bb, so if you want to play in the original key using these same chord shapes, just capo the 1^st fret. You can listen to my recording of this song from the archives, but note that I added extra chord changes that aren’t in this transcription.
