Cats Are Not Lucky Creatures

Well I heard you left your situation

I left a message, you didn't get back

I figured you hooked up with this one or that one

Cats always land on their feet, I thought

Staring at this beat-up old Tom in Tel Aviv

But they're not lucky creatures

None of us are lucky creatures, no, no, no

Well, I dug all through this dumpster

It was just full of empty bottles and I

Mewed toward the young girls that feed us

I jumped straight up when a scooter swerved toward us

And thanked whatever cat-hating god cats pray to

That I was still breathing, I'm still breathing

'Cause cats are not lucky creatures

We got our dignity, we fought for that

Yeah, but there's no money, there's time for that

Never worried about my belly, there's rats for that

Never worried about the future 'cause I'm a cat

We got our dignity, we fought for that

Yeah, but there's no money, there's time for that

Never worried about my belly, there's rats for that

I never worried about the future 'cause I'm a cat

I want to tell you about

Crisis after crisis

But I hate to bore you

So I swished my tail

About and my snout

In indignation

And I landed

And I landed on my feet

We got our dignity, we fought for that

Yeah, but there's no money, there's time for that

Never worried about my belly, there's rats for that

Never worried about the future 'cause I'm a cat

We got our dignity, we fought for that

Yeah, but there's no money, there's time for that

Never worried about my belly, there's rats for that

I never worried about the future 'cause I'm a cat
