Cat & the Dog Trap

Cat’s in the yard
Fancy free
Dog barges 'round, says,
«You can’t catch me!
No siree.»
There was a time
When I was younger
I’d chase the tail
Of any danger

Cat jumps a fence
Lands in a pram
Baby screams, «Mama!»
Out runs the man
Cat gets the can
There was a time
When I was bolder
I’d chase the heels
Of any stranger

Cat’s In a cage
Chained to a stone
Empty Bowl by his side
Just an old fish bone
Dreams of home
There was a time
A long way back
When I would fall
For any dog trap
