He Certainly Ain'T No Cat

He Certainly Ain't No Cat

     I am a carnivorous feline, red in tooth and claw,
     I climb in through the windows and I creep in through the door
     And hide in secret places where I can sleep all day.
     My owner ain't no secret, he's far too big for that,
     He may be a cat lover but he certainly ain't no cat.

     I know how to be patient and sneak up on my prey.
     One day I snuck up on my owner and hid behind his back
     And when he couldn't find me, he hadn't thought of that.
     Now he says he wants a dog; well, we shall see about that,
     He may be a doggy lover but he certainly ain't no cat
