Lyrics
Cat Food
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lady Supermarket with an apple in her basket
Knocks in the manager's door
Grooning to the muzak from a speaker in shoe rack
Lays out her goods on the floor
Everything she's chosen is conveniently frozen
"Eat it and come back for more!"
Lady Window Shopper with a new one in the hopper
Whips up a chemical brew
Croaking to a neighbour while she polishes a sabre
Knows how to flavour a stew
Never need to worry with a tin of "Hurri Curri"
"Poisoned especially for you!"
No use to complain
If you're caught out in the rain
Your mother's quite insane
Cat food cat food cat food again
Lady Yellow Stamper with a fillet in a hamper
Dying to finish the course
Goodies for the table with a fable on the label
Drowning in miracle sauce
Don't think I am that rude if I tell you that it's cat food
"Not even fit for a horse!"
