[Verse 1] You set down supper, I appear A tiny paw is suddenly here That chicken’s got my name on it I read the plate; I’m sure of it [Pre-Chorus] I’ve had my bowl, I’ve had my treat But yours has got that grown-up meat I sit up tall, I blink once slow A starving prince with nowhere to go [Chorus] Just one little bite, let me inspect I’ll guard your fork, I’ll show respect That noodle’s long, that cheese looks grand I’ll take it gently from your hand You say, “No, whiskers”—what a shame I’ll file a formal purr-otest claim! [Verse 2] I sniff the toast, I eye the ham I’m not a thief—I’m just a fan Your salad leaf can stay with you But pass the turkey, if you do [Pre-Chorus] My bowl is full, I know it’s true Still, human food has better view I plant my paws beside your chair And practice my “I’m fainting” stare [Chorus] Just one little bite, let me inspect I’ll guard your fork, I’ll show respect That noodle’s long, that cheese looks grand I’ll take it gently from your hand You say, “No, whiskers”—what a shame I’ll file a formal purr-otest claim! [Bridge] The vet said, “Cats eat cat food, please.” I heard, “Ask again, then beg with knees.” I’ll plead my case with velvet paws And cite the ancient dinner laws [Final Chorus] Just one little bite, I’ll be so sweet I’ll even let you keep your seat That chicken’s calling, loud and clear I’m sure it wants to volunteer You say, “No, whiskers”—still I’ll stay Your tiny food inspector, every day! [Outro] I’ll watch your plate. I’ll guard the floor. And if you drop one crumb… it’s yours no more!
