Lyrics
Zak, I wanna be your cat forever
Zak, I wanna be your cat
forever and a day
My Mommy was mean
but now you're on the scene
oh, Zak
I wanna be your cat
Zak, take me to Manhattan
Zak, take me where
the dirty birds
fly free
I promise not to pee
on your carpet
or your hat
oh, Zak
I wanna be your cat
Tummy to tummy
we'll keep each other warm
watching T.V. together
CNN or porn
I don't care
I'll be there
I wanna be your cat
Zak, I wanna be your cat
forever
Zak, I wanna be your cat
not matter what they say
We'll be happy
you and me
human-feline destiny
oh, Zak
I wanna be your cat
(REPEAT FIRST VERSE)
oh, Zak
I wanna be your cat
We'll be happy together
in Manhattan
with the birds flyin' all around
landin' on the window sill
You'll be my buddy
I'll chase the rats
but I won't catch 'em
give me tuna food
fresh fish from the market
and it better be kosher
I wanna be your cat
I'll keep you warm, Zak
Zak, I wanna be your cat
your cute little kitty
be your very best friend
best friend
