The Cat

Well you took her in
So it’s up to you
To pander and pamper
Like there were nothing better to do
She comes and she goes
Whenever she will
To mess up your fluffy white sheets
Of satin and silk

Feeling so playful
Eyeing her prey ‘til
She pounces
She paws you and gnaws you and claws you
Until she announces, she’s had enough of that
It’s time to pet her now
And she shows you where and how
(Meow)

She claws you your pillows and claims it her throne
She won’t eat out of your hand but you’re all of her house and home
You wanna take her but she’ll hiss
I’m taking a nap
When you don’t have the time
She’ll curl up on your lap
She lands on her feet
Renowned on the streets
In danger
It’s hopeless to claim her, train her
Or tame her or change her
You know she’ll never be
But may better know
That she shows you where and how
(Meow)

She’s feeling so playful
Eyeing her prey ‘til
She pounces
She paws you and claws you and gnaws you
Until she announces, she’s had enough of that
It’s time to pet her now
And she shows you where and how
(Meow)

Just why you’ll never know, but you love to pet her so
And she shows you where and how
(Meow)
