The Mom's Only Doing it for Some Cat
(song parody from Guys and Dolls)
as sung by Frankie Sicatra
When she'll rise at dawn
If the kibble is gone,
With no coffee until you are fed and fat,
When the house decor
Features kitties galore,
And they all look like you,
Well what can you do,
You're what it's all for.
When she searches stores,
Up the aisles, down the floors,
For gourmet food in cans that are small and flat,
And she spends her last nickel
On an appetite that is fickle,
Then the mom's only doing it for some cat.
If she goes away
But she never can stay,
Coming galloping home to give you a pat,
If you're acting bored
And you need a reward,
She'll forget about all
To roll you a ball,
Cause you're so adored.
When she scoops your box
While the company knocks,
But your fur is all over the chair they're at,
You're divine, you're delicious,
If the company gets suspicious,
That's too bad, she's not gonna insult her cat.
When she comes to bed,
And she pillows her head,
And your tail drapes her eyes like a winter hat,
Call it mad, call it silly,
Call it somebody's head is chilly,
But the mom never thinks to remove the cat.
When you're feeling sad,
Needing sympathy bad,
Just forgetting that you're an aristocrat,
She'll be waiting there
In your favorite chair
With the comfiest lap
For taking a nap
You'll find anywhere.
When you've passed your prime,
And she works overtime,
Giving up every comfort and more than that,
Just to pay vet expenses,
Then you better believe your senses,
Cause the mom's only doing it for some cat.
Some cat! That's you!
The mom's only doing it for some cat!
