[Verse] They told me they were fine neighbors, Better than our folks here, They looked me in the eyes and said, "Don't you worry, dear." [Verse 2] But now my girl cries every night, Her heart is torn in two, Our beloved cat's gone missing, Sadness all around grew. [Chorus] They ate my cat, can you believe, They ate my friend, my kin, I trusted them, I surely did, But now I can't let them back in. [Verse 3] The porch light still left on at dusk, Hoping she’d come home, But the silence of the nightfall, Confirms she’s truly gone. [Verse 4] They cooked up tales of kindness, Like a stew in broth, But beneath their humble kitchen, Laid a menace, worse than sloth. [Chorus] They ate my cat, can you believe, They ate my friend, my kin, I trusted them, I surely did, But now I can't let them back in.
