The Lament of the Empty Bowl [Verse 1] I hear the sound Of my dry food drop Against my bowl It seems like the time Is getting longer And longer between those clashes I feel a real ache In my stomach It’s been so many minutes Oh no! The bowl is empty [Chorus] Where is my food? Where is my food? Won’t somebody help me? Before it’s too late Where is my food? Where is my food? Oh, woe is me (Where is my food?) [Verse 2] I stroll over To my bowl The state of it Hasn’t changed I look at The food container It marks me (Again, it marks me) And I stand there Very still Hoping for one more pour Oh no! The bowl is STILL empty [Bridge] Maybe I was A good cat today I only knocked One glass away I let you sleep Until half past four Was that not worth One little more? [build] I gave you purrs I gave you trust Now all that's left... Is empty dust [Chorus] Where is my food? Where is my food? Won’t somebody help me? Before it’s too late Where is my food? Where is my food? Oh, woe is me (Where is my food?) [outro] [whisper] If I don't make it... to the next feeding... Know I had a good life Tell Oliver... he can have my toy mouse. Tell the squirrel... He got lucky Treats were acceptable. The portions... were... inadequate... Farewell...
