A cat takes a bath, It sure sounds good to him
He's got paws to paddle, a tail and limb
What he can do is swim now, What he can do is swim
A cat takes a bath, He don't know much about the water
He could be an otter, or even better
It doesn't really matter, It doesn't really matter
----- chorus -----
One day he goes to a backyard pond, Maybe all the fish, are his own
But when he goes to a big wild river, Somebody throws him a life preserver
A cat takes a bath, He don't know what it means
It don't give him meals, not even treats
It doesn't even set him free, It doesn't even set him free
----- solo -----
A cat takes a bath, He thought that's so easy
But it makes him crazy, though he's lazy
It keeps him so busy, It just keeps him so busy
----- chorus -----
A cat takes a bath, It's harder than chasing rats
he can be working on reducing fat
To a day he's going to be autocrat, someday he's going to be autocrat
be in the water, he takes a bath
