There's a Cat on my Head
I’m feeling distressed
I’m feeling dismayed
I’m feeling decidedly weird
I’m afraid
I looked in the mirror
Expecting a hat
But instead, on my head
Was a black and white cat!
Now, if I ask nicely
Please don’t be misled
But does anyone know
Why there’s a cat on my head?
Maybe she’s hungry
And needs to be fed
Does anyone know
Why there’s a cat on my head?
Is she feeling sleepy
And wanting a bed?
Does anyone know
Why there’s a cat on my head?
She could sit in her
Lovely soft basket instead
Does anyone know
Why there’s a cat on my head?
As headwear goes
I suppose this one’s fine;
It’s not a cap
It’s a furry feline!
It seems a bit odd
It has to be said
You see …. NOBODY KNOWS
Why there’s a cat on my head!
I’m feeling dismayed
I’m feeling decidedly weird
I’m afraid
I looked in the mirror
Expecting a hat
But instead, on my head
Was a black and white cat!
Now, if I ask nicely
Please don’t be misled
But does anyone know
Why there’s a cat on my head?
Maybe she’s hungry
And needs to be fed
Does anyone know
Why there’s a cat on my head?
Is she feeling sleepy
And wanting a bed?
Does anyone know
Why there’s a cat on my head?
She could sit in her
Lovely soft basket instead
Does anyone know
Why there’s a cat on my head?
As headwear goes
I suppose this one’s fine;
It’s not a cap
It’s a furry feline!
It seems a bit odd
It has to be said
You see …. NOBODY KNOWS
Why there’s a cat on my head!
