Lyrics

I was just a little bitty kitten
in the pet store
when we met

She..
picked me up ant took me home
how lucky can an orphan kitty get ..

She played the violin
with such tender loving care
as I noshed

I rolled in sweet contentment
and in the middle of a roll
I saw my name on the bowl..

Blackie White Paws
Blackie White Paws
"that's my name ?"
Blackie White Paws
Blackie White Paws
"I guess that's my name"
Blackie White Paws
Blackie White Paws

Blackie White Paws
I'm Blackie White Paws

Fatter
getting fatter
I thought I had it made
until the day
I met the
Rats

'We have met your kind..
many times before ..
We are the rats
We are the rats
We survive
We survive
We survive'

'If you look around the cupboard
..way in the back ..
..the ancient dusty dishes..
of long deceased cats...'

'Beware...Beware'

'When a violin string..
breaks under stress..
remember one thing..
She demands the very best.'

'The sound devine
from the twisted twine..
from the guts ...
of
domesticus feline.'

'It's the only thing that
makes her
violin
sing'

'Beware of a broken string..
Beware of a broken string.'

Blackie White Paws
with a touch of the gout
Blackie White Paws
better watch out

Sunday night a concert
her and her
very best friends
in her living room
living
room

..and all of a sudden..
..the party was over ...

'Here..kitty kitty ..(laugh..snort)'

'Here..kitty..kitty .. (laught snort)'

Little Blackie White Paws
Paradise denied
Mommy was a Jekyll
now she's Mister Hyde

Now's she's got me cornered
butcher knife raised high

I thought I was going to die ..
but my bladder let go ..
..and I ran and I peed
and I peed and I ran
and I
peed on
every square foot of the house.

Blackie White Paws
disappeared that night

Where I went
she wasn't sure
when frankly
I had simply moved
next door

Where I was loved
and cared for
by a man
who lived all alone
and played
the trombone

Blackie White Paws
Blackie White Paws
I ...
survived ..
