[Intro, spoken][FOX:] "This orange tabby... During some nights, she would be so stealthy, and independent... She sometimes wouldn't take no for an answer, when it came to late night snacks--or getting into other things while my mom and I were asleep..." [Verse 1, singing] Not always was she a sneak, A few nights, I heard her while asleep. She liked the scent of my feminine products. The smell of them, however, wasn't enough. Through eyes slightly open, I saw her face rubbin', On the plastic bag, over and over. Wasn't able to suppress my snickers, While I observed her weird behavior. [Pre-chorus 1] Pumpkin, oh Pumpkin, You silly kitty cat. Pumpkin, oh Pumpkin... Pumpkin, oh Pumpkin, I'll never forget. You were a quirky one! [Chorus] She couldn't resist attempts, For a late night snack, Or scenting my things. These details take me back, To times of fun and laughter, Of cuddles and play times. The calm and funny moments, With this peculiar feline. Nocturnal bandit, I'll always love this, Nocturnal bandit... [Verse 2] One night, she was up and about, Searching and sniffing out, Finding that herb she loved... (The nip.) It was all in a container, She had feared no danger, Of getting caught by someone... I woke up early the next morning. Mom told me about her exploring. Catnip spilled inside the pink bag. Pumpkin wanted some more. Into the bag she went. Her brother Sam was watching, From there, he couldn't resist! A comical, playful leap, Loud laughter escaped me. He landed on the bag. For a moment, while in there, His sister was unaware, Rolling in the catnip. After Sam had pounced, She quickly ran out. My mom and I laughed loud! [Pre-chorus 2] Pumpkin, oh Pumpkin, You silly kitty cat. Pumpkin, oh Pumpkin... Pumpkin, oh Pumpkin, Your brother was an adorable, And hilarious furry rascal! [Chorus] She couldn't resist attempts, For a late night snack, Or scenting my things. These details take me back, To times of fun and laughter, Of cuddles and play times. The calm and funny moments, With this peculiar feline. Nocturnal bandit, I'll always love this, Nocturnal bandit... Nocturnal bandit, I'll always love this, Nocturnal bandit! [Bridge] She stole a chunk of my heart. I knew it right from the start, Not long after we first met. No matter how far away, She lives from me today, Our days and nights together--no regrets! [Final Chorus] She couldn't resist attempts, For a late night snack, Or scenting my things. These details take me back, To times of fun and laughter, Of cuddles and play times. The calm and funny moments, With this peculiar feline. Nocturnal bandit, I'll always love this, Nocturnal bandit... Nocturnal bandit, These memories remain, Of your silly little ways. I'll cherish them again, And continue to celebrate On all the fun we had. My quirky orange tabby... Forever a part of me, My nocturnal bandit!
