Sometimes I wish you were a fine feathered fowl   And sometimes I wish I was a cat out on her midnight growl   So if you were a bird you would sing from a cage   And if I were a cat I could watch you all day   And I know in my mind that you'd never get away   If I were a cat and you were a fine feathered fowl      Sometimes I wish you were a ring tailed raccoon   And sometimes I wish I was a hound out bayin' at the moon   So if you were a roccoon you'd be hidin' anythin'   And if I were a hound bayin' you what believe in   You'd never get away from that scene no way soon   If I were a hound and you were a ring tailed raccoon      But if I were a cat and you were a fine fowl   I'd take my little claw and I would caress your fine feathers through the bars   And I'd open up the latch on the door of your cage   And everyone would wonder how that birdie got away   Not one little feather would I leave lay about   If I were a cat and you were a fine fowl (miaw)   If I were a cat and you were a fine fowl (miaw)
