SONG: THIS CAT, THIS MOUSE


This cat lives in my house
He’s got a plan I’m on to
I wish he’d catch this mouse
But I see he ain’t goin’ to

He’d rather sleep
He’d rather eat
He’d rather I
Toss him a treat

This mouse lives in my house
Near this ferocious cat
They don’t play cat and mouse
Neither brat’s into that

This mouse chews cheese
Avoids the trap
This cat’s at ease
Here in my lap

This fog of war's existed
Now for over a year
To me it just seems twisted
But these two just don’t care
I plead, but they’ve resisted
I ask you, is that fair?
I ask them, is that fair?
They stare, but they don’t care
