Cat In The Wall

There's a cat in the wall

And I listen to him squall

In the morning when I'm stretching

Hear him choking, hear him retching

It's a shame about the noise

Because it scares away the boys

In the evening when we coo-ing

And that pussy starts purring

And the neighbours of my mom

Taking wages on the phone

Saying where'd she ever get the nerve

When will she get what she deserves

Come let's pray the lightning bolts allow

And the neighbours of my mom

Taking wages on the phone

Must've been a hefty fall

Must've built the walls around him

And it's a wonder no one's found him

But I'll never shoo him out

Cause he moves around the house

In my arteries he gets

Now he's bumping through my brain

In my veins, in my mouth

Till I scream and cough out loud

But he's just a little ghost

He's just a shade of what he was

Because, because, because, because, because

Of the rotten things he does

And the neighbours of my mom

Still don't know that cat is gone
