[Intro – expressive Italian violin playing the memorable melody, soft piano and light strings. Real cat sounds quietly in background.] Verse 1 Two lady cats and two proud toms Slipped quietly away from home Tonight they dreamed of city lights Of silver plates and candle nights They brushed their fur and raised their heads Like nobles dressed for nights ahead Soft paws whisper through the street Toward a place where gourmets meet [Background – real cats softly meowing, natural feline sounds, not human voices] Pre-Chorus A round white table dressed in gold Four tiny rebels brave and bold Chorus Oh tonight we dine like kings Crystal glass and silver rings Raise a toast to freedom’s way For one wild stolen dinner day The violin begins to sing Dancing softly on its strings While gentle cats beneath the light Purr and feast into the night [Italian violin repeats the catchy melodic theme] Verse 2 Salmon shining on a plate Laughter drifting through the gate Tender purring, playful eyes Little secrets, little lies They talk of rooftops, moonlit air Of midnight races everywhere And while they feast in velvet glow The violin begins to flow [Instrumental – expressive Italian violin solo with emotional melody, piano and soft strings. Real cats meowing playfully in rhythm.] Chorus Oh tonight we dine like kings Crystal glass and silver rings Raise a toast to freedom’s way For one wild stolen dinner day The violin begins to sing Dancing softly on its strings Four wild hearts that slipped away For one enchanted dinner day Final Verse The candles fade, the hour is late They hurry through the garden gate And just before the kitchen light They turn to cats again that night Their mistress stands beside the door “Where have you wandered, little four?” One cheeky tom with guilty grace Still hides a fish tail in his face He smacks his lips and licks his paw Pretending she has seen no more [Background – playful real cat meow sounds] Outro [Italian violin slowly repeats the main melody. Piano soft and warm. Real cats quietly meowing and purring. Music fades.]
