The Beautiful South - The Cat Loves The Mouse Lyrics
We've come a long way from the caveWhat, you started to shave?Now we know just how to behaveSince chivalry decided to batheAnd as the skirts we wore were increasingly highTill the hem was just a cloud in the skyAnd the chat up lines got increasingly flyAs the truth bought a suit and a tieThe cat loves the mouseThe mouse loves the cheeseThe bees love the birdsThe birds love those beesThe bee loves that honeySo honey pleaseWhy are we so different to these?So when I'm old and I'm greyYou know you already areWhen I'm overweightYou know you already areIf I've overstayed my welcome by a dayJust feel free to sayYou know I already haveAnd as the skirts we wore were increasingly highTill the hem was just a cloud in the skyAnd the chat up lines got increasingly flyAs the truth bought a suit and a tieThe cat chases birdTo the top of the treeThe dog chases postmanTo the end of the streetThe postman he chasesEvery girl that he meetsSo why are we so different to these?I've been your bird, I've been your *****I've been whatever B you ever wishedI've been your cat, I've been your chickI've been which ever C you thought to pickI've been your bat, I've been your cowI've been whichever B and C that you'd allowI've been your dog, your dragon and your duckI've been whatever D you thought was cool to *****
