ORANGE CATS (MAKE THE VERY BEST FRIENDS)
(Norm Hacking)


Norman Hacking & Kirk Elliott - 2002




Best friends can come in lots of shapes and sizes
That's why they're always such wonderful surprises
Mine has four legs and a lot of orange fur
He tells me life is great with the world's loudest purr


His name is Syd and when his owner moved away
He came a-knocking at my door one day
He said "I sure need a home, oh, won't you let me in?
'Cause orange cats make the very best friends"


Well, they're not in it for the food, not in it for the money
Just give their chin a scratch, let them sleep where it's sunny
You don't need a turtle or a gerbil or a bunny
'Cause orange cats make the very best friends


It's been nearly 20 years since he came to stay
He's been my best friend in so many ways
>From a handsome young mouser to a wise old man
Syd, the orange cat, he's been my very best friend


Well, they're not in it for the food, not in it for the money
Just give their chin a scratch, let them sleep where it's sunny
You don't need a turtle or a gerbil or a bunny
'Cause orange cats make the very best friends


Well, they're not in it for the food, not in it for the money
Just give their chin a scratch, let them sleep where it's sunny
You don't need a turtle or a gerbil or a bunny
'Cause orange cats make the very best friends


'Cause orange cats make the very best friends
