[Verse 1] She walked in slow with her calico queen A weathered bag A face serene The town hall buzzed with stiff routines But her little cat caused a scene [Prechorus] They said "No pets allowed Ma’am You must comply" But something shiny caught her eye [Chorus] A pony by the podium A parrot squawking free A red panda curled up by the maple tree The rules are rules But can’t you see It’s rules for me and not for thee [Verse 2] The commissioner grinned with his shaggy dog Another one whistled through the smog Her cat just purred Didn’t bark or jog But they called her out like a clog in the cog [Prechorus] "Ma’am You must leave It’s policy’s law" She smirked Pointing to the zoo she saw [Chorus] A pony by the podium A parrot squawking free A red panda curled up by the maple tree The rules are rules But can’t you see It’s rules for me and not for thee
