-The
Cat-
YOU
CAN SCRATCH THE ANTIQUE FURNITURE
TO
SHARPEN UP YOUR CLAWS
YOU
CAN LACERATE THE CUSHIONS
IF
YOU’RE EVER STUCK INDOORS
YOU
CAN DIG UP ALL THE FLOWERS
FROM
THE FRESHLY PLANTED BEDS
AND
WITH ARTICLES OF CLOTHING
IT’S
OKAY TO PULL SOME THREADS
BUT
I REMEMBER AS A KINDERGARTEN KITTEN
ONE
PHRASE THAT LEFT ME SINGULARLY SMITTEN
YOU
CAN PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT
YOU
CAN CHIVVY YOUR CHOW BEFORE YOU CHEW
YOU
CAN PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD YOU CAN'T BEAT IT
SO,
DUCKY, LET ME PLAY WITH YOU.
YOU
CAN PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU BITE IT
YOU
CAN TOY WITH YOUR TUCK BEFORE THE CRUNCH.
YOU
CAN PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD WHY FIGHT IT?
IT'S
A CRAZY LITTLE GAME CALLED LUNCH!
So,
tell me, Ducky. What would you like to play? It can be anything. I won’t tell
your mother.
-Ugly-
Anything?
...well...
I'D
LIKE TO PADDLE IN THE PUDDLES
DABBLE
IN THE MUD
TICKLE
STICKLEBACKS IN THE SHALLOWS
THEN
MAYBE IF THERE'S TIME
GO
SLIDING IN THE SLIME
TO
THE MARSH WHERE YOU FIND MARSHMALLOWS
I’LL
GO AND SLAY A DRAGONFLY
WATCH
WATER BOATMEN RACE
TO
SAY THAT CATS ARE DANGEROUS
IS
CLEARLY NOT THE CASE
-The
Cat-
I’D
RATHER PLAY A GAME THAT’S SHARP AND WITTY
AND
PREFERABLE WITH SOMETHING IN THE KITTY
YOU
CAN PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU NIBBLE
YOU
CAN GIST WITH YOUR JOINT BEFORE YOU SLICE
YOU
CAN PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD, BUT DON’T DRIBBLE!
MY
MAMA GAVE THE BEST ADVICE.
YOU
CAN PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU GULP IT
YOU
CAN MESS WITH YOUR MEAL BEFORE YOU MUNCH
YOU
CAN PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD THEN PULP IT
IT’S
A CRAZY LITTLE GAME CALLED LUNCH!
-Ugly-
WE
COULD GO RUSHING IN THE RUSHES
DASHING
DOWN THE DITCH
FIND
THE KIND OF PLACE WHERE IT’S FOGGY
THEN
MAKE THE KIND OF CAMP
THAT
IS SECRETIVE AND DAMP
FOR
ME AND MY MATE THE MOGGY
AND
IF THE OTHER DUCKLINGS WANT TO COME AND JOIN OUR GAMES
THEY
HAVE TO MAKE A PROMISE FIRST TO STOP CALLING ME NAMES
-The
Cat-
OH,
I’LL HELP YA
TO
FORGET THE WAY THEY SCOLDED
JUST
AS SOON AS I HAVE GOT MY NAPKIN FOLDED
Oh,
you want to play hide-and-seek do you? Where are you? Am I getting warmer?
YOU
CAN PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT
YOU
CAN CHIVVY YOUR CHOW BEFORE YOU CHEW
YOU
CAN PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD YOU CAN'T BEAT IT
SO
DUCKY, DUCKY, DUCKY, DUCKY
DUCKY,
DUCKY, DUCKY, DUCKY
DUCKY
LET ME PLAY WITH YOU!
YOU
CAN PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU BITE IT
YOU
CAN TOY WITH THE TUCK BEFORE THE CRUNCH
YOU
CAN PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD WHY FIGHT IT?
IT'S
A CRAZY LITTLE GAME...
Do
you like oranges?
-Ugly-
I
don't know, I’ve never tried one
-The
Cat-
Well,
suck on this!
IT'S
A CRAZY LITTLE GAME CALLED… LUNCH!
