The cat is always the wrong side of the door. Here is the proof . .
Lyrics (translated from the French of Paul Maertens):
Just let me out
Open the door there out to the yard
Let me get out there now
The cat demands
I need to stretch
Sharpen my claws and roam the woody glen
Let me back in
Open the door there
I must have food
I can’t stay outside
Let’s have some fish
Oh hurry – be quick or I’ll bite
You call this fresh? – oh what a liberty!”
Just let me out – open the door
A fine fat bird, I must have him now
Just let me out – the cheeky thing!
He’s coming this way… Blast I’ve been seen!
Let me back in
I must have food, open a tin now
Oh what a feast!
My tum needs scratching!
Oh stroke me again, that’s all I need!
