# Lyrics *Verse 1* On a velvet pillow sat A lushious royal cat While through his house A horde of raiding mouse Never did the cat come hither Or paid his housely tither Demanding food He sat upon his couch *Verse 2* And when he didn't eat Ever on the cat did sleep Ignoring prey His house in disarray Then came forth from shadow westward An bold lion, who in rest heard This cats neglect The lion was dismayed *Chorus* Oh the sleeping cat forgot That his wits is all he got For in the end The mice will pick him clean Hail the rightful feline king His mighty roar a new dawn bring And with his bite Eats mice and cat alike *Verse 3* The cat sat up offended Had the lion apprehended "Who is he Giving orders callously" The lion growled displays of power Made the lazy cat doth cower And with his paw He summoned all to see *Bridge* The lion claimed the throne The lazy cat would not atone So he went in for a blow But the sitting made him slow The lion pushed him back Warning he should not attack Too proud to listen to the king The cat went for another swing And there the mice all saw The power of the lion's maw *Chorus x2* Oh the sleeping cat forgot That his wits is all he got For in the end The mice will pick him clean Hail the rightful feline king His mighty roar a new dawn bring And with its bite Eats mice and cat alike Eats mice and cat alike Eats mice and cat alike
