Cat is on the cherry tree.
From the top branch looks at me.
But it’s only cat’s sweet dream,
Cat is always in, in, in, in.
Cat is with you and with me.
Cat is what keeps us happy.
If cat goes, I’ll lose my soul
In the darkness, oh, oh, oh, no.
Close the door ‘cause the cat wants to escape, my love.
Close the door ‘cause the cat wants to escape, my love.
And outside it’s getting darker
And I think I lost a bet
‘Cause I thought that I’d get smarter
But it hasn’t happened yet.
Oh, close the door ‘cause the cat wants to escape, my love.
Other species come and go.
Fish die and get eaten, oh.
Snails get daily trodden on,
Bears and wolves get shot, shot, shot, shot.
Cat is unaware of that.
Cat is force and force is cat.
Should cat leave we’ll all be lost,
So keep this door closed, closed, closed, closed.
Close the door ‘cause the cat wants to escape, my love.
Close the door ‘cause the cat wants to escape, my love.
And outside it’s getting darker
And I think I lost a bet
‘Cause I thought that I’d get smarter
But it hasn’t happened yet.
And outside it’s getting darker,
Help me, cat, I lost my soul,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, no!
Close the door ‘cause the cat wants to escape, my love.
Close the door ‘cause the cat wants to escape, my love.
Close the door.
Close the door.
Close the door.
