THE CATS HAVE IT

 

THE CATS CAN DO IT

LET THEM TAKE OVER

I AM WITHOUT MY MIND

LOST IT IN DOVER

 

THE CATS HAVE IT

THE CHORES THEY CAN DO

I HAVE NO FEELING

EXCEPT THE FEELING BLUE

 

THE CATS CAN RULE

IT IS IN MY BOOK

I AM FEEBLE AND SLOW

YOU CAN SEE ME LOOK!

 

MY NURSE WILL VISIT

SHE INJECTS FROM BEHIND

I AM DOWN AND SUFFERING

IS SHE REALLY BLIND?

 

THE CATS HAVE IT

THEY ARE YOUNG AND SPRUCE

WHILE I’M AN OLD HAS BEEN

LET THEM MAKE DO

 

PUSSYCATS WHEN THE CHORES ARE DONE

COOK ME A MEAL TASTY

AND DUST AND SHOP AND BUY YOUR FOOD

AND DON’T BE HASTY

 

AS FROM A DREAM IN MY RECLINING CHAIR

I WAKE AND REALIZE THE TRUTH IS REAL

I HAVE BEEN CRAZY ILL

IT’S NOT RIGHT WHAT I FEEL

 

I GO A COFFEE TO MAKE

AND MY CATS CURL AROUND MY ANKLES

PURRING I LOOK DOWN

AND I SAY THANK YOU

 

MY CATS MAKE ME SEE

THIS VERY MORN

I AM THE HUMAN

AND THEY DON’T KNOW THEY ARE BORN

 

I’LL WASH THEIR BOWLS

AND BUY THEIR FOOD

COOK MY OWN DINNER

COME OUT OF THAT MOOD

 

MY CATS ARE NOT CRAZY

LIKE ME THE OLD FOOL

I CARRY ON WITH THEIR CARE

KNOWING CATS PULL YOU THROUGH!
