Gathering Hairballs

lyrics: Gary Ehrlich, copyright 5/99
(tune: "Gathering Peascods", trad.)

In March '99, I joined DC-area English Country Dance group Three Left Feet. This is what happens when you let a filker get his hands on 100 pages worth of English Country Dance tunes.

Today's the day I bathe my kitty cats to get them nice and clean (2x)
But my cats don't like to get wet and full of suds, they bite and scratch and claw (2x)
My cats got loose and fled (3x)
I will never find them now

My cats got sick; I took them to the vet; the vet gave me some pills (2x)
But my cats hate the pills, they squirm and bite my hand, come help and hold them down (2x)
My cats got loose and fled (3x)
I will never find them now

I volunteered to host a filk tonight, my friends have all stopped by (2x)
But my cats get scared when there are lots of folks around; they've fled beneath the bed (2x)
They won't come out 'til dawn (3x)
When they're hungry for some food!
