[Dan Bull - Stroking a Cat lyrics]
This is not a subject many
Are approaching in rap
Among the showboating and boasts
I know I'm so full of crap
But, I won't be complete without penning
An ode to the fact
That I feel most at home stroking a cat
I feel his paws on my shoulder
So I turn and I'm poking him back
He kneads my knees and I know he's cozy
The chap's hoping to doze in my lap
It's fairly safe to say I'm open to that
Because I'm most at home stroking a cat
Jimmy i'm stroking a cat
Sammy see him doze in my lap
Patty there's few feelings closer than that
I'm at home when I'm stroking a cat
Behind the ears, now under the chin
Tickle the tummy and feel the
Fluff on your skin
I had a cold heart but that
Frost was going to melt
Because your fine fluffy fur was
The softest thing I've felt
Put me in contact with my lost and inner self
But gosh, your droppings are the most
Obnoxious thing I've smelt
If Jay Z had a baby with a crazy cat lady
Their DNA would mutate to make me
It may be crazy
That I cradle cats in place of babies
But, you wouldn't make me change my
Behaviour if you paid me
Maybe it's love, perhaps it's toxoplasmosis
Honestly, I'm kind of shocked
That I wrote this
I'm too far gone, I'm lost and I'm hopeless
Put a poster on the lamp post for
Me and hope someone will notice
Jimmy i'm stroking a cat
Sammy see him doze in my lap
Patty there's few feelings closer than that
I'm at home when I'm stroking a cat
Behind the ears, now under the chin
Tickle the tummy and feel the
Fluff on your skin
I try not to treat you anthropomorphically
But damn, if you could talk to me
That'd be awesome see i need to reassure you
That I'll always be here for you
Though we are mere mortal beings
I would run a mile for every single
Minute that I fear for you i'm no loyalist
But to me you are the real royal
Developed and bred up as a vicious predator
I found it tricky to picture
'til you ripped that stick of feathers up
You're like a teddy bear
But sentient with agency
That's why I savour the sentiment you'd
Deign to play with me
The wide world is dangerous home's a haven
Sweet and if you need love enough I'm
Sure we have a vacancy
Jimmy i'm stroking a cat
Sammy see him doze in my lap
Patty there's few feelings closer than that
I'm at home when I'm stroking a cat
Behind the ears, now under the chin
Tickle the tummy and feel the
Fluff on your skin
Aside from mewling
I'll never get to hear you speak
But we communicate in other ways
Enough to know you're unique
The pet sanctuary was a feline Who's Who
Perusing kittens like I was trying
To get a new shoe
I wonder what the factor was
That made me choose you don't know
Perhaps you chose me and I just knew too
You had a true cuteness I never grew used to
It rips my heart apart knowing
That soon I'll lose you
I don't want to lose you i love you
Are approaching in rap
Among the showboating and boasts
I know I'm so full of crap
But, I won't be complete without penning
An ode to the fact
