I wish I was a cat And had all that- A total fur coat, Four paws and a tail- And when I was hot I could really wail- But mostly just sleep And eat, and lounge around. I'd never use big words Or complicated thoughts; Never more than "Feed me," Or "What's that?" 'Cause I'm just a cat. I'd keep my claws sharp, And my dreams very sweet; I'd be the toughest cat On the street...for every bird That became my treat, I'd pin up a small flag So I could keep track Like those early war aces That always flew back- And when, on occasion, I got a tummy ache, I'd cough up a fur ball, And scratch wherever The fleas were at; And say, I'm very glad I'm a cat.
