A friendly neighbour asked me
if I would like a cat
I didn't hesitate to tell her I'd like that
I was ready
I asked my brother's daughter
what I should name the cat
she didn't hesitate to tell me it's moustache
she was ready
I had to wait a month
the kittens were too small
I waited patiently and practiced my cat call
tsk tsk moustache
I went to pick him up
the kittens numbered 3
I stepped into the pen and let you come pick me
like a moustache
ch: always sounding like a rainy wet Monday
moustache you can't go out
let me use you for a pillow on Sunday
moustache you can't go on my back
with those claws
oh you can
it wasn't day or night
it wasn't meant to be
it's always been a thing this thing that's you and me
it's so purr-fect
purring to wake me up
happy to go to sleep
you wouldn't need a shepherd you're always counting sheep
such a moustache
(ch)

my best buddy

you let me watch watch
you lick your crotch crotch
I think you're top notch
you're my best buddy
I'd let you pet me
buzz like a wet bee
leg up and let's see
that's my best buddy
we always hang out
pants on or wang out
2 dudes all about
being best buddies
we got through co-vid
party we sure did
he laughes when I kid
with my best buddy
he likes to say meow
I hope he feeds me now
he can be so cuddly
he's my best buddy
you don't like my music
even when you choose it
that's not what we're about
I don't like your furballs
and your whiney cat calls
but that's not what we're about
he's got some tude tude
unlike a dude dude
I can be too rude
with my best buddy
he likes to play fetch
hang out while I sketch
I can't play catch catch
with my best buddy
he likes to butt heads
his fur likes to shed
he naps on my bed
he's my best buddy

geminis

you tell me when I'm out
of tune with sour milk
hey moustache hey hey
you told me
I listened and it paid
off kilter sour milk
we're a pair of cats
seeing geminis
only 4 days apart
a couple geminis (2x)
I told you while you're out
on the balcony
stay moustache stay stay
I don't want you to fall
you listened and it paid
because you never fell
except maybe that once
a couple geminis

yellow eyes on the prize
02:36
|

|
the string is attached to my hand
I know that you can understand
there isn't a mouse crawling there
and if you know, you don't care
you're just focusing on something
the laser light shines on the wall
but it's not fooling you at all
follow the finger tapping there
it's not a bird but you don't care
you're focusing on something
now sleep close your eyes
keep those yellow ones on the prize

sleeping between naps

sleeping
I like to watch you in the dark
I don't feel like I'm creeping
but when your eyes open in the dark
you can see me peeping on you
sleeping
ch: you're sleeping between your naps
I think that it might perhaps be true
you sleep between naps and mew
napping
I like to count you every time
you could take one while I'm crapping
you sometimes dream about taking naps
even when I'm yapping at you
napping
ch: you're sleeping between your naps
I think that it might perhaps be true
you sleep between craps and poo

the right kind of crazy
05:14
|

|
you just gotta find the right kind of crazy
it's hard to be alone
but everyone else is insane
and you want to be at home
don't wanna feel, don't wanna feel the pain
you need someone who understands
you need someone (2x)
but everyone, everyone,
everyone makes you feel lonely
(ch)
