Leslie Fish - It's Sister Jenny's Turn to Throw the Bomb (feat. The Dehorn Crew)

The Cats Are Taking Over

They gallop through the kitchen and they settle on the grate
They fix their big eyes on you and they sit them down to wait
You know you're gonna have to feed them off the people plate
I believe the cats are taking over
I believe
I believe
I believe the cats are taking over

Up and down the fence at night yowling loud and shrill
The cats are making more cats, by dawn they're at it still
Their babies come in litters and they do not take the pill
I believe the cats are taking over
I believe
I believe
I believe the cats are taking over

Early early in the morning when you're fast asleep
Hand over hand up the blanket they will creep
To yowl in your ear then escape you with a leap
I believe the cats are taking over
I believe
I believe
I believe the cats are taking over

They drive us out to organize bigger crowds each day
They blame it on psychology, on politics, or play
But in fact we're only making plans to give our cats away
I believe the cats are taking over
I believe
I believe
I believe the cats are taking over

So there's your true conspiracy, i swear i do not lie
The source of these upheavals that so troubled you and I
So won't you take a kitten please Mr. F.B.I.
I believe the cats are taking over
I believe
I believe
I believe the cats are taking over

Oops. My MIDI is giving me problems. Joe, can you access the MIDI file that's in the DT?

I've managed to find that it was written in 1968, but no sign of a tune.

Leslie does a lot of original tunes - so I imagine it was.

I have found this wonderful set of lyrics on the digitrad, by Leslie Fish. Unfortunately there was no tune to go with them and no sign of a recording by anyone. The tune of 'John Brown's Body' scans fairlly well but is there an original tune?
