Felinus Fattus
The cats come racing towards the bowl
As soon as they hear a tuna can open
Everyone here knows their goal
They dig underground like a mole
A new speed record will be broken
The cats come racing towards the bowl
Under their scratching post they look like a troll
I think this truth goes unspoken
The cats come racing towards the bowl
I’ve never seen them them take a stroll
But until the cats are awoken
The cats come racing towards the bowl
All of the cats swallowed the tuna whole
The dishes in the house will remain unbroken
The cats come racing towards the bowl
The cats come racing towards the bowl
