Cheryl Wheeler - My Cat's Birthday lyrics

On my cat's birthday the mice did sway And the squirrels did dance around The dogs went nuts when they heard such fuss Hustled out to party down The little birds tap danced all around the ants Movin' in a cunga line Weasel band played, lady bugs made Crocus & azalea wine Sittin' at the tables in their pirate blouses Guess they got the furniture from outta their houses Out back at the volleyball Toads had to argue every call Crows showed up in the cop outfits Holsters slidin' off their hips Deer hung back by the garden shed Turkeys scratched in the flower bed On my cat's birthday the birthday cake Was several stories high Cats ate down along the ground Birds ate in the sky Oh and the squirrels ate too from the edge of the roof Until they finally jumped right in But the band played on till the cake was gone We'll never see another again Catnip came and it all went south Where did that goldfinch get that mouth? Dogs growlin' over bones they'd buried A rabbit & a robin got married Band started singing 'bout a love so deep Guest of honor drifted off to sleep Curled around another old cat dream And that's how Penrod turned fifteen
