Lyrics[]

Here's the little story of a very special cat

Who's the friend and good companion of a certain Postman Pat

Travelling through the country with his good friend by his side

Pat knows his cat just likes to be there, for he always likes to ride

Through the beautiful valley and its lovely countryside

As he sits up by the window and the views go gliding by

Jess is his cat

And it's always been like that

Always been like that

Ever since that he was given

As a tiny little kitten

Ever since that he was given

As a tiny little kitten

All the folks in Greendale like to wave or stop to chat

For they always like to see Pat as he goes by with his cat

Through the beautiful valley and its lovely countryside

As he sits up by the window and the views go gliding by

Jess is his cat

And it's always been like that

Always been like that

Ever since that he was given

As a tiny little kitten

Ever since that he was given

As a tiny little kitten

Jess is his cat

And it's always been like that

Jess is the cat

Of our friendly Postman Pat

(Repeat until fade)

Trivia[]

The song was only played with the lyrics in Postman Pat takes a Message. Other episodes have only played the instrumental.
The TV series version of the song takes a more faster paced arrangement than the album version.
