Overflowing Cat Box Blues (Jane Robinson) First I must mention the lack of attention: Here I am wasting away. (it's awful) Why did you get me if you won't pet me Seventeen hours a day? I ask you What is this crap when I sit on your lap? I expect a devoted masseuse; I got those `Nobody loves me, nobody feeds me Overflowin' cat box blues. Now I have grown gaunt from privation and want But catfood I don't deign to take (how gauche) But I could connive to completely revive When you give-a me half of your steak (done rare) I'll sit and I'll beg with my claws in your leg Until you concede what I'm due; I got those `Nobody loves me, nobody feeds me.. Overflowin' cat box blues. Hey, I don't deserve this lousy door service: I'm always on the wrong side. You know this Prancing and yowling, moaning and growling Works, but it hurts a cat's pride. So I'll just Claw and I'll spray till the door rots away And leaves me a hole to pass through; I got those `Nobody loves me, nobody feeds me... Overflowin' cat box blues. Say, whenever I go for the bed or the sofa You always shoo me away. (How rude!) You say I get hair on the fabric of chairs That offends your pristine derriere. Well now if I can't repose where I want, I suppose, I'll Throw up where you most like to snooze; I got those `Nobody loves me, nobody feeds me.. Overflowin' cat box blues. Well, you ought to know when a cat's got to go That you owe her a spotless commode. (Let's hear it) Why should I squat on the same soggy spot Right on top of three weeks worth of load? Now really! If I were a grouch I would piss on the couch, But instead I have pissed in your shoe; I got those `Nobody loves me, nobody feeds me... Overflowin' cat box blues. Since you have spayed me nobody's laid me - I'm all neurotic and tense - it's true now - Kneading and mewing is all that I'm doing And not wooing toms on the fence. Don't think that I've become bitter because I can't litter No, but I've lost a few screws; I got those `Nobody loves me, nobody feeds me Overflowin' cat box blues. I got those `Nobody loves me, nobody feeds me Overflowin' cat box blues. Copyright Jane Robinson APR99
