Lyrics
When Cats Take Over the World
The world's in bad shape indeed
There's too much anger and greed
But I can see through the gloom
Change is coming soon
When folks will be very nice
Tuna will plummet in price
When cats take over the world
Everyone will be kind
You could jump on the counter
And eat whatever you find
You could cough up a hair ball
And no one would mind
Maybe we'd all purr
When cats take over the world
Doors will be against the law
Everyone will keep their claws
Dogs will be shown no mercy
They'll be shipped to New Jersey
There will be no more cars
Cat haters will be sent to Mars
When cats take over the world
All trouble will cease
You could jump on a bookcase
Knock over whatever you please
You could clean your butt hole
In front of company
In public you could hurl
When cats take over the world.
We'll stare into thin air
Pretend there's something there
We'll learn meditation
And perfect manipulation
No one will ever get wet
Or have to go to the vet
When Cats Take Over the World
