[Bossa guitar, two bars] [shaker enters, then kick] [Verse 1] [voice: lead, warm and dry] Katy is a cat now. We don't discuss it. She does the books. She does them right. Her tail lies flat across the till and the shop has never looked so bright. [Pre-Chorus] [electric piano, two chords] [voice: ASMR whisper, very close, breathy] The bell goes. She does not look up. [voice: lead, warm and dry] The customers have started to queue. [Chorus] [full house groove, cabasa] Katy, Kattie, what you did with Bettie? (the sofa, the frill, the biscuit) Katy, Kattie, are you even listening? (she is washing her hand) Kat's meow, Kattie. Meow. [Verse 2] [voice: lead, warm and dry] Bettie's under the sofa. She won't come out. I post a biscuit under the frill. A man came in and offered nine pounds for the cat. Katy heard him. Katy sent him a bill. [Bridge] [guitar and shaker only] The accountant says the books are neat. He has not once asked me how. Katy signs them with her cheek and the bank has stopped calling now. [Chorus] [full house groove] Katy, Kattie, what you did with Bettie? (the sofa, the frill, the biscuit) Katy, Kattie, is there room for two? (she is washing her hand) Kat's meow, Kattie. Meow. [Verse 3] [voice: lead, warm and dry] A woman came in asking for a hat. Katy showed her three. She took them all. A hand came out from under the sofa and took the biscuit off the floor. [Final Chorus] [piano doubles the guitar] Katy, Kattie, what you did with Bettie? (the sofa, the frill, the biscuit) Katy, Kattie, will you write it down? (she is washing her hand) Kattie, Bettie, Kitty, Katy. Kat's meow, Kattie. Meow. [Outro] [guitar alone, shaker fading] Kattie, Bettie, Kitty, Katy. Kat's meow, Ka-a-ty. [natural decay]
