CAT:
Look! Oh no! The cupboard’s very bare.
Not / a mouse / to be found anywhere
We must / get to the Petco now
It doesn’t matter how
Before the next meow
Or I’ll tear up paw-s as I climb the wall-s
And I’ll bite the dog and how
That’s / not / purring
I’m de-furring
I’m so hungry and I think I’m gonna die, oh my!
Could / you / spare a ham and cheese?
I swear, I’ll get down on four knees
And be real nice
Just pass the mice
I’m getting hives / and it’s really no sur-prise
(I’m) running out of lives
and if I go another hour I will take my first cold shower
and I’ll spit up many hairballs 
…
and I’ll take up whistling bird calls…
My / eyes are crossed, I’m go-ing blind.
If this keeps up, I’ll lo-ose/ my mind.
Look! My whiskers start to curl…
I don’t have stre-ength enough to cha-ase a squirrel!
OWNER:
Oh kitty there’s a crisis
We’re running out of mices.
I’ll say it once or twices
We’re running out of mices.
Oh / what to do?
No / rodent stew
And the last time that I served it
You turned tail and nose up to!
Oh kitty there’s a crisis
We’re running out of mices.

CAT:
A furry yummy for my-y tummy, trust me,
I am certain this would do the trick!
How ‘bout a ca-nar-y on a stick?

It’s / so / bad around this home
I’d settle for a chicken bone
Even a beak, mais qui.
I / would / gladly swear off finicky
I’d even come when called you see
I’m starved.
A turkey carved!
Sounds good to me, oh can’t you see I’m turning weak
(Did you hear a) mouse squeak?
Or is that my imagination getting the best of me?
My / eyes are crossed, I’m go-ing blind.
If this keeps up, I’ll lo-ose/ my mind.

How about a ca-nar-y, a ca-nar-ar-y
How about a ca-na-a-ar-y, na-a-a-ry, right a-way?
OWNER:
But what are we to do with no more food?
CAT:
Let’s eat.
OWNER:
The shelves are bare, I’m just not in the mood…
CAT:
Just eat.
CAT:
Eat!
Eat!
ADD’L VERSE:
DUET
The situation’s des-p’rate, and we
could call Domino’s…
CAT:
Get a pizza with mouse toes…
OWNER:
Or maybe not.

Oh please, ple-e-e-ease, ple-e-ease,
Oh please, ple-e-e-ease, ple-e-ease,
let’s / just / eat...
