The Cat Song

The Cat Song
(1976) by Lauro Nyro: The Cat Song

My name is Eddie
I am a cat
and I sleep with one eye open
watching the morning sail

Someone calls Eddie
up to their lap
and I purr
but I'd sure like to get me
my breakfast
especially a fishtail
turn it into a fish scale

No, I'm not
like you people
you wheel and you war
and you whitewash your day away
(where you goin'?) on my merry way
(where you goin'?) on my merry way

Spring full of fire
up goes a flower-kite
run now
sleep in the sun now
I like my fun now

My name is Eddie
I am a cat
and I sleep with one eye open
.....meow

She's a sweety Sanna. She is a real mom cat to everyone. :)

A super and faved combination for 'Soundtrack to Life'. Thanks for posting, Karen. I think sometimes I would like to be a cat and be able to relax in a warm spot like this :-) The most appropriate track by Laura Nyro. I have a couple of Laura' s albums and more searching will be required to find them :-) It was so very tragic when Laura succumbed to cancer at only 49 years old.

Thank you Roger. Cats are almost professional at relaxing. :)

Yes, it's so sad the she died so young. She left the world with a real treasure of music that will carry on in her place. That's the beauty of music isn't it?

I have to say though, I am beginning to worry about your misplaced music collection... Do we need to call "Search and Rescue?" ;)
