Overigens is het woord 'copy-cat' natuurlijk ook uitermate bekend geraakt door het kinderrijmpje 'Copy-cat'
COPY-CAT
He lingers in the shadow,
follows your every move:
from your house into the meadow,
there's nothing you can do
- He is, a copy-cat
no better has there been.
He is, a copy cat:
the sneakiest, you've never seen.
Unseen he ever glances,
sees whatever you do.
He silently waits his chances
'til he knows you through.. and through.
- He is, a copy-cat
no better has there been.
He is, a copy cat:
the sneakiest, you've never seen.
When he steps into the light,
no-one knows who is true.
Complain with all your might,
but you're gone - and he is you.
- He is, a copy-cat
no better has there been.
He is, a copy cat:
the sneakiest, you've never seen.
Backing off into the dark,
you curse that copycat.
Smiling at your last remark,
the copycat bows and tips his hat..
