  • bilby Somebody's Moggy by the side of the road
    Somebody's pussy who forgot his highway code
    Someone's favorite feline who ran clean out of luck
    When he ran onto the road and tried to argue with a truck

    Yesterday he purred and played in his pussy paradise
    Decapitating tweetybirds and masticating mice
    Now he's just 6 lbs of raw minced meat that don't smell very nice
    He's nobody's Moggy now

    Oh you who love your pussy be sure to keep him in
    Don't let him argue with a truck the truck is bound to win
    And upon the busy road don't let him play or frolic
    If you do I'm warning you it could be CAT-ostrophic

    If he plays out on the roadway I'm afraid that will be that
    There'll be one last despairing MEOW and a sort of squelchy SPLAT
    And your pussy will be slightly dead and very, very flat
    He's nobody's Moggy
    Just red and squashed and soggy
    He's Nobody's Moggy now
