Just Don't Kick the Cat

Album: The Merry Pirate School

Lyrics

v1)  I woke up Monday morning feelin’ kinda mean and mad
The honest truth is I didn’t know what was makin’ me feel bad
As I stomped off across the floor I heard a voice from the kitchen door
(it was my mom) “It’s okay to be angry, just don’t kick the cat!”



CH:  It’s okay to be angry, just don’t kick the cat
No need to keep the things you feel all stuffed inside your hat
We all have problems sometimes, there’s no shame in that
It’s okay to be angry, just don’t kick the cat



v2)  I hated to admit it, but I knew that my mom was right
Feeling sad and small inside doesn’t make it okay to fight
She said “Words are the thing to use if you wake up with the blues...”
It’s okay to be angry, just don’t kick the cat



CHORUS



v3)  The fact is cats are people, too, cuz the cats are you and me
And the truth about us cats all boils down to this, you see
My right to swing my foot ends where the next cat begins
It’s okay to be angry, just don’t kick the cat



CHORUS
