Story Behind the Song
Written as a sequel to my "Obedient Dog" song, this text lay in a drawer until one day Jay Sewall read it and decided it would make a good song. He then wrote the music and made this recording.
Lyrics
Aristocratic Cat
I am a very aristocratic cat
I lie on my cushion all day
I don't chase after mice, and I never have lice
I'm too dignified to run outside.
But one thing that's most embarassing
When I hear it's supper time
I loose my cool and meow like a fool
I loose my self-control and jump into my bowl.
Meow, meow, ……
I am a very laid-back cat
Laziest you ever knew
I lie on my back and let myself get fat
A yawn or two is all that I can do.
But there is one irritation in my life of bliss
If you move my cushion then I start to hiss
I don't like to scratch, and I don't like to bite
But if you touch my cushion then it serves you right.
Meow, meow, ….
I am a very affectionate cat
I only live so you can stroke my back
If you want me to grin, rub my chin,
Oh caress me, it's ecstasy.
If you pick me up, there's something you should know,
I have a little trouble in letting go,
Try to put me down and you'll feel my claws,
I'll cling to your skin with all four paws
Meow, meow, …
