Catnap
My team is losing,
and I'm mad
I shouldn't have put all my money down
It was supposed to be a sure thing,
according to this wise guy Darwin clown
He said evolution
created the perfect mousetrap
But it seems to me
those rat bastards been taking a catnap
He lied
when he said only the strong will survive
He told a tale
when he said man evolved from a snail
He said cats
were the strong perfect predator
And mice were the weak, weak prey
Then how come
every time you turn on the news,
they say the rat population increases everyday
Rats are winning,
they got a million times eleven
Cats are losing,
they got ten thousand times twenty seven
Rats are running everywhere,
loose in the neighborhood
Fat cats are sleeping somewhere,
not doing their job like they should
Darwin lied
when he said survival of the fittest
At last check,
rat numbers were not getting less
Theory of evolution got it wrong again,
looks like the wrong team is gonna win
Looks like they're running up the score,
looks like they're growing more and more
Rats are winning,
they got five million times eleven
Cats are losing,
they got ten thousand times twenty seven
Rats have gotten brazen,
they're eating all the cheese
Cats have grown lazy,
by the fireplace sleeping cozy
Listen up, king cat
Mr. Bad predator
When you're through taking your nap,
if it's not asking too much:
After you take your last snore,
could you get back to work
and catch a few mice that came through the door
'Cause you're losing,
and you're losing bad
My money is getting thinner,
and I'm getting real mad
Rats are winning,
they got fifty million times eleven
Cats are losing,
they got ten thousand times twenty seven
According to evolution,
mice by now should be extinct
Instead, I'm putting more traps
under the kitchen sink
But now I get it:
Darwin the big rat
is in on the fix
The theory of evolution
ain't nothing
but a Mickey Mouse trick
