Lepus Rex have you ever heard this song by The Arrogant Worms?

William Shakespeare's in my Cat, by the Arrogant Worms.

I never much believed in reincarnation
Thought it was only people's imagination
Now I'm forced into some reconsideration
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
They guy who wrote 12th Night chews on my socks at night
I'm really quite impressed, I own the cat who wrote Macbeth
But if something's rotten in the state its just his fishy breath,
Cause

He wrote Romeo and Juliet
But his greatest story yet
Is coming back as someone's pet
And getting neutered by the vet
He got his claws caught in a net
Then he said "To be or not to meee-OW!"

Wiliam Shakespeare's in my cat, he rarely ever talks
He makes his loudest statements standing in the litterbox
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.
Beckett's plays are witty, same thing for Bernard Shaw
And 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 the Franz Kafka really came back as a bug
And I hope Andrew Lloyd Weber will stay underneath my rug,
Cause

He wrote Romeo and Juliet
But his greatest story yet
Is coming back as someone's pet
And getting neutered by the vet
He got his claws caught in a net
Then he said "To be or not to meee-OW!"
