E G A7 x2
Miss knotty and nice never heeds my advice
A G E7 x2
to insure that her fur stays clean ‘cuz her vice
E G A7 x2
makes her lazy all day and even at night.
A G E7 x2
She’ll never be bothered with that cat preening rite.
E G C7 C#7
But when she feels she’s slept enough
D7 D#7
and it’s time to get back up she
E7
arches her back to stretch it out. Her time has come to prowl.
E G
D7 G A E
Wild-eyed and wired, she runs around the room.
Bm G G# A
Every thing’s a toy for her, at least she so assumes.
D7 G A C7 C#7 The carpet calls
her claws for a round of cat Kung-Fu.
D7
She attacks it with a vengeance
D7 D#7 E7 D#7 x4 and kicks and shreds and rips and tears
and kills it through and through.
E G A7 x2
When the damage is done she heads back to her bed.
A G E7 x2
There’s sleeping to do and dreams in her head
E G A7 x2
of petting and warmth, of food to be fed,
A G E7 x2
of chasing the ghosts and the fur balls she’s shed.
E G C7 C#7
But as her purring’s almost through,
D7 D#7
there’s just one thing for her to
do.
E7
Her eyes open to find her dreams, waiting, so it seems.
E7 G
D7 G A E
She races to the places that she can vandalize.
Bm G G# A
She doesn’t mean to be mean, you see that in her eyes.
D7 G A C7 C#7 Her curiosity just
electrifies.
D7
She can’t control or compromise
D7 D#7 E7 D#7 x4 the need to roll and knock things down.
In general, terrorize.

E G A7 x2
Cleopatra’s my cat. She be where it is at.
A G E7 x2
A gray, fuzzy fur ball. An amateur acrobat.
E G A7 x2
Though she’s a trouble maker. A knotty, tangled up mat.
A G E7 x2
She is actually quite nice for an aristocrat.
E G C7 C#7
An affectionate feline
D7 D#7
who cuddles up and makes you feel fine
E7
and forget about the things she has broke when her wild is woke
