Lyrics for Cat Food

Lady Supermarket with an apple in her basket Knocks in the manager's door Grooming 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 neighbor while she polishes a saber Knows how to flavor a stew Never need to worry with a tin of "Hurry Curry" "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 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!"
