Can you see in the dark when it's black as coal? No!
Neither can I, but my cat can!

Can you stare without blinking for over an hour?
Can you shimmy to the treetop in two seconds flat?
Can you fall 20 yards and land on your feet?

'Cause she's an acrobat, an aristocrat,
She acts like a spoiled brat.
She hides my socks and hides my hat
And a whole lot more than that!

Can you purrrrrrr like a motor and not use your mouth? No!
Neither can I, but my cat can.

Can you walk on dry leaves and not make a sound?
Can you file your nails by scratching on a tree?
Can you stand up to a dog ten times your size?

'Cause she's no scaredy cat, no diplomat
Who'll chit-chat or chew the fat.
She makes my home her habitat
And keeps it clear of mouse and rat!

That's my song about my cat!
That's my song about my cat!
That's that!
