lyrics

bill the cat knows where it's at
prowling round town, no responsibilities
kicking the cans, knocking the fences
master of his destiny

don't try to tie him down with
balls of yarn, brightly colored
cause he'll be slinking round
looking for another bowl of milk
and he'll pretend to love you

cats have nine lives
but i wonder why they even try
after wasting three or five
cats have nine lives, so they say
gotta stretch their paws and fly
gotta catch them birdies in the sky

ain't too concerned bout where he goes
where he's been or who he knows
ain't gonna take no job just sitting lookng cute
it ain' right for a tomcat, plaing puss n boots

don't try to dress him up with
pretty bows, brightly colored
don't you call him baby
he's a fighter, not a snuggler
need more than thirty seconds
well that's your problem

don't try to tie him down
no balls of yarn, no pretty bows
don't try to dress him up
ain't gonna love you back for sure
cause he'll be slinking round
you're just another bowl of milk
and your curiosity will kill you

cats have nine lives
still i wonder why we even try
after wasting three or five
cats have nine lives, so they say
gotta spread their paws and fly
gotta catch them birdies in the sky

NO CASTOR OIL!
