You're a Grand Old Cat
Words by Mark Mandel
TTOT (to the obvious tune)*

You're a grand old cat, you're a middle-aged cat,
And you seem to like lying around.
You don't run as much, or jump and such,
As when you were recently found.

I am fond of you, and I'll always be true,
And I'll give you the best I can.
For it seems quite clear that for many a year
You're my kitty and I'm your man.

* "You're a Grand Old Flag", George M. Cohan

You're a grand old cat.
You're an ex-alley cat.
In your lair or your chair you will stay.
You're the emblem of the cats I love,
The tortoise, the tabby, the gray.
If you see a mouse coming into the house,
Then that critter will soon go splat.
But should older strays come pee the yard,
Keep your eye on the grand old cat.
