There lives a certain cat in TW8
He is small and black, and he looks a total state
Most people look at him with terror and with fear
And Ocado drivers all know to stay well clear
He can scream his guts out like he’s dying
Even when there’s nothing wrong
We can’t shut him up though we keep trying
So we wrote this song

La la little sod
Struts around as if he’s God
He is a cat that really is strange
La la little shit
Why do we put up with it?
He’s most bizarre and truly deranged

He rules his grand Château and is the one true Roi
Yet he runs away when his daddy plays guitar
On dark and stormy nights he goes on hunting sprees
But he rolls and purrs when a man gives him a squeeze
For his guests he’s sweet and captivating
They think he can do no wrong
Once they’ve gone he’s just excruciating
Screaming all day long

La la little sod
Struts around as if he’s God
He’s got the whole world under his spell
La la little shit
Why do we put up with it?
He’s really strange and creepy as hell
Joyeux quatorze, Louis Catorze.

    Best wishes to Him! Maybe he’ll mellow with age?

      Merci! He will probably spend it strutting around loving himself. So just a normal day, then! 🤣🤣🤣

      Merci! Hahaha, I didn’t think this song would be cool enough for rockers like you and Jimi, but that’s great to hear! I’m already mentally planning next year’s song …

        Your song is really cool, especially for us cat people. But I don’t know if our singer would enjoy singing it (she’s a dog person…).

        My favorite local radio station just played Rasputin. I think it’s a sign and/or message from the Mother Ship.
