William Shakespeare`s In My Cat

I never much believed in reincarnation Thought it was only people`s imagination But now I`m forced into some reconsideration `Cause something`s happened to my cat That deserves some explanation William Shakespeare`s in my cat My kitty is the bard He used to be a playwright Now he`s digging up the yard He`s still a cat in most respects He likes to meow and purr But now I introduce him as the cat That wrote Richard the third I took him to see Phantom He said it was quite nice But he can`t go see Miss Saigon Until he kills some mice (Until he kills some mice) William Shakespeare`s in my cat It sometimes seems so deep The guy who wrote Twelfth Night Chews on my socks while I`m asleep I`m really quite impressed I own the cat who wrote MacBeth But if something`s rotten in this state It`s just his fishy breath `Cause he wrote Romeo and Juliet But his greatest story yet Is coming back as someone`s pet And gettin` neutered by the vet He got his paws caught in a net Then he said to be or not to meeeow! William Shakespeare`s in my cat He rarely ever talks He makes his loudest statements Standing in the litter box He sleeps on all my shelves And throws my books about the house It doesn`t sound like prose When he bats his squeaky mouse Sam Beckett`s plays are witty, Same thing for Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde is pretty, But none of them have paws (None of them have paws) William Shakespeare`s in my cat He chases bits of fluff John Milton`s in my goldfish But I never liked his stuff I`m thinking that Franz Kafka Really came back as a bug And I hope Andrew Lloyd Webber Will stay underneath my rug `Cause he wrote Romeo and Juliet But his greatest story yet Is coming back as someone`s pet And gettin` neutered by the vet He got his paws caught in a net Then he said to be or not to meeeow! Take it, Trevor! (Trevor`s solo on what sounds like a Jew`s-Harp-style instrument) He wrote Romeo and Juliet But his greatest story yet Is coming back as someone`s pet And gettin` neutered by the vet He got his paws caught in a net Then he said to be or not to meeeow!
