FROM THE MUSICAL: CATELOT

Princess Patchtricia

What do the simple cats or humans do

Not living in a house or even a Schacteau

The feral cat flailing in the snow

The Tom Cat wailing for a coo

And what of the human lacking fur, oh what a burr

Dogs yapping and snipping at a curr

Al those who are not to be feline

‘Tis awful and terribly so terribly unkind.

How do they manage, the ordinary cat

With hardly ever a pat

Or human with just an empty lap

Oh what do the simple cats and humans do?

King Lamont

In my studies of other felines and species I dwell

And see they have their very own ways, and well

When they are down and blue, they look for me and for you

And our deep and purring ways, helps them make do

That’s what the simple cats do

I hope I hope it is true.

Princess Pawline

They purr?

King Lamont

In a way

Princess Pawline

And what about the skinless critters too

No fur to lick and slick just goo it up with shampoo

The hairless are a an awful fright

Naked they sleep throughout the night

Cold and needed the warmth of me or you

To keep them warm and happy too

They must live in deep despair

Those lacking any hair

Oh what do the skinless critter do?

Have they have they any clue?

Oh boo hoo.

King Lamont

Within our house we have we do

Human servants one and two

Mewreen and her spouse Meugh

They seem quite happy in their way

And why not I dare say

For they have the likes of us

Pawline, Patrichia and King Lamont

And upon us they do dote

That makes a happy note.

That is what the simple humans do.

Princess Patchtricia

They purr?

King Lamont

They pet

Princiesses Patchtricia and Pawline in two cat harmony

Arise all cats and four legged critters near and far

Come by bus, plane, van, pet carrier or car

Come to this Fountain City fair

Upon the Mississippi River there

And observe the wonders of our cat castle where

The hairless human servants  strive to care

For we, the royals of Catdom glow and bask

For that is what  it is we royal cats do.

And though you may not have it a nice as we

Observe and think what possibilities be

For common cats or two legged hairless beings with hats

Come to us and dream the dreams

Of lives like ours with milk and cream

For that is what the simple cats do

And human the humble humans too.

Mew, mew.
