I ENJOY BEING A CAT
Musical : Cats


Remember when actors played humans
Now to bring home a paycheck I dress up in fur
So I glue on my whiskers, tail and animal hair
And I grin it and I bare it with a purr….

When I wear my brand new collar
And my fur is all smooth and pat
I love to hear the public hollar
I enjoy being a cat.

I rather do serious dramas
But as long as my paychecks fat
The show is the cat's pajamas
I enjoy being a cat.

The folks say the show is long and boring
And we dance like narrotic chimpanzees
As long as the critics are adoring
I'm willing to wear a custom full of fleas

I'm strickly a method Morris
And a Puss-n-Boots acrobat
And I love purring in the chorus
Being cute cuddley and coy
Cause I enjoy being a cat

Remember when no one would cast me
Now I've got me a co-op
And I'm raking it in
Next season I'm starring in Lloyd Webbers new show
I'll be playing Rin Tin Tin

(ends with dog howl)
