O WONDERFUL CAT


O Wonderful Cat with that fat, self-satisfied grin,
It's a wonderful world that you're living in.
Swordfish or Tuna from seas far away
I place in your feeder with true love each day;
And, after you dine, you have hours of prime time
     just for play
And for grooming yourself, grandly, like a Queen
     Of The May,
With never a care that the ice is thin
And that all such good things, like yours,
      must soon come to an end.
It's a wonderful world that you're living in,
O Wonderful Cat with that satisfied grin.

It's a wonderful world that you're living in,
You beautiful cat with the selfish grin.



Sleep, kitty.  All is well!
