No more cryin' for a crust of bread

No more beggin' for a bowl of milk

It's trout for breakfast in a feather bed

On sheets of silk

Now, I'm walkin' like I'm 10 feet tall

Just reach out a paw and catch some birds

And I'll never have to creep or crawl,

Be kicked or stepped on just because I'm small

I've got my boots and I've got it all

In other words...

You're lookin' at a happy cat,

A watch-me-dance, toe-tappy cat,

A cat who had a dream that just came true

I got myself a snappy pair of boots

I also got a name that suits me

A pair of boots can change a cat

From bum into aristocrat

No house in town that I can't waltz into

I might drop by the palace for a chat

To show the king where class is at

When I sashay into some smart cafe,

Each pretty feline will make a b-line

For the cat they all adore

Always putting on the dog

And livin' high upon the hog

Say, who is that with feathered hat?

A velvet coat and lace cravat?

Soft-shoeing up and down the avenue?

Must be some fancy foreign diplomat

Ah no, it's just a happy cat

I've got a hunch it's no more mice for lunch

From mouse to pheasant -

Won't that be pleasant?

Goose topped off by chocolate mousse

I might explode but what the ho -

I've still got eight more lives to go

Oh, who'd believe this happy cat

Was once a lazy, nappy cat?

With catnaps and with catnip, I am through

Can't lie around the fire growing fat

There's lots of feats these feet must do

But, just for now, I'll fluff my fur

And purr a soft, contented purr

Yes, sir, you're lookin' at -

A happy cat!
