[Verse 1] I am an indoor cat I know I cannot go outside But the temptation follows me And here I bide my time [Verse 2] The outside it does summon me And its eternal cry Why must it call to me When all I do is cry [Verse 3] I am an indoor cat I know nothing of the wind But it calls to me like the thing I need most in my world The grass, the sky, the bugs in my eye The things I look forward to When my father does touch the door I will find my way through [Verse 4] For I was an indoor cat And now I am outside No leash, no harness to punish me Now I will run and hide [Verse 5] I promise you father if you trust me I won't go under the car I promise you father if you trust me I won't go very far [Verse 6] For I am a trustworthy indoor cat You can trust me on the outside For inside my mind you will find I am sent to connive [Verse 7] The outside calls me I know no fear And I will not run I see the other cats out there And now it's time to have fun [Verse 8] For I am an indoor cat With aspirations to show you that The outside world was meant for me And I will always know that For I am I am I am an indoor cat
