A pear-shaped cat sings the blues
Well, I woke up this morning,
Feeling kind of glum
It was the 25th of January
And winter storms had come.
I looked out the window
At my garden draped in snow
And nothing there was moving
Not even a lousy crow.
Oh I’m a pear-shaped cat
And I can’t cat around
When all those nasty snowflakes
Are lying on the ground.
I curled up next to the bedspread
Just trying to keep warm
And I dreamed I was in Egypt
Far away from this storm.
Yes I dreamed I was in Egypt
Eating tunafish pies
And there I was escaping
Those shadows blue as my eyes.
Oh I’m a pear-shaped cat
And I just mope around
When all those nasty snowflakes
Are lying on the ground.
Just trying to keep warm
And I dreamed I was in Egypt
Far away from this storm.
Yes I dreamed I was in Egypt
Eating tunafish pies
And there I was escaping
Those shadows blue as my eyes.
Oh I’m a pear-shaped cat
And I just mope around
When all those nasty snowflakes
Are lying on the ground.
Don't mope all weekend: get on over to the Friday Ark and hang out with the other critters. On Sunday, join up with the Carnival of the Cats at Mind of Mog.
