I Wish I Was My Cat
Verse 1
Sunbeam on the carpet
You just flop and claim the spot
I’m hustling through emails
You’re dreaming ’bout a cardboard box
You blink like
“yeah I own you”
Then roll and show your stripe
I’m making instant coffee
You’re living that deluxe life
Chorus
I wish I was my cat
Lazy
Fat and cute like that
You’re the boss and that’s a fact
And I can’t even be mad
Yeah I wish I was my cat
Stealing snacks and daytime naps
You’re the queen of this small flat
And I can’t even be mad
Verse 2
You yell
I come running
Fill your bowl
You take one bite
Leave the rest
Then saunter
Knock my notebook off in spite
You stare out of the window
Like you’re planning something grand
I’m stuck inside my deadlines
You just lick your perfect hand
Chorus
I wish I was my cat
Lazy
Fat and cute like that
You’re the boss and that’s a fact
And I can’t even be mad
Yeah I wish I was my cat
Stealing snacks and daytime naps
You’re the queen of this small flat
And I can’t even be mad
Bridge
You sleep twelve hours
Then take a break
From all that sleep
For goodness’ sake
I clean the house
You shed on me
Somehow that feels
Like royalty
I wish I was my cat
