"Felix Kept On Walking" is a 1923 English comic novelty song. The song was written by Hubert W. David (music) and Ed E. Bryant (lyrics), and describes Felix the Cat having various fantastical escapades (being swallowed by a whale, skinned alive by cannibals, and so forth). The song was very popular during the 1920s.
Most verses start with "Felix kept on walking, kept on walking still" and are intended to show Felix's ability and determination to conquer these various obstacles and keep on going. The sheet music cover art, pictured at right, has Felix walking in front of a castle; the sheet music being published by Lawrence Wright in London, and the song by Worton David.
A very similar title, "Felix the Cat Kept On Walking", was given to a 1925 American Felix the Cat cartoon short.
