ttto He's Nobody's Moggy Now, Eric Bogle
Mark A. Mandel Copr. 2005
At Genetic Savings and Clone in Sausalito, Calif., you can have your cat cloned for $32,000, not counting cell sample, preservation, and vet fees. (The New York Times, Sat., 2005-05-28, p. C5: "Hello Kitty, Hello Clone")
Somebody's moggy who has left this mortal clay,
Somebody's pussy in a scrap of DNA,
Someone's favorite furry friend on lifetime number ten
As a weary feline soul exclaiming "Oh no, not again!"
Yesterday his grieving owner brought the ashes home,
Today he's dropping thirty thou for a promised kitty clone
That's guaranteed to look just like the pet he used to own:
He's bringing his moggy ba-ack.
Now, if you loved your pussy, please let him rest in peace.
Nine lives on Earth is quite enough to earn him his release.
So do not call him back because you're feeling melancholic--
If you do, I'm warning you, it could be cat-astrophic.
Who knows whose soul's inhabiting that tiny furry head?
You may have brought a grateful feline friend back from the dead
Or he may have cut a deal, and you've got Fenton there instead!
He's nobody's moggy, and HE'S BA-A-A-A-ACK!
For non-filk audiences, end with:
Or he may have cut a deal, and you've got Dracula instead!
He's nobody's moggy, and HE'S BA-ACK!
(Jack Nicholson instead of Tom Smith)
