Lyrics
What's in a cat
'cept a lot of fat
What's outside
'cept a lot of fur
What comes out
'cept a lot of purr
and an occasional "meow"
now and then
What's he good for
'cept to keep your feet warm
or eat
an occasional bug ?
Well, I don't care how useless he is
I'm givin' my cat a hug
He eats a mountain
sleepin' all the time
but I don't care how useless he is
I like my cat just fine
Some people say
that a cat ain't got no fellings
They won't do what you tell them
or fetch the evening paper
But I don't care how useless he is
I'm givin' my cat a hug
Think I'll get another
or maybe three
to keep him company
You can't beat the price
they're cheaper than mice
they're F.R.E.E.
FREE !
They eat a mountain
sleepin' all the time
But I don't care how useless they are
I like my cats just fine
Hug 'em all the time
Hug..'em
all...the...
time....
" come here ya' little monster cat !"
Givin' my cat a hug !
