The Power of the Pussies

Polite notice: we're stronger and strategic

The cats all got together—decided they’d had enough

Dog rule had been both brutal and bossy, their treatment had been ruff

Big dogs, little dogs and every dog size in between

Did whatever they liked in Pussytown and they were more than a little mean

Underaged kittens were chased and stroked in places I dare not say

It’s shameful seeing as no dog I know would let puppies be touched that way

Cats didn’t feel safe walking alone at night, crime had gotten pretty bad

Canines would intrude on the privacy of a feline and now the cats were hopping mad

When cats took care of business dogs tried to touch them with their paws

“Sexual harassment plain and simple” cats would say, “Remember there are laws”

But the dogs just did whatever

Thought that they were clever

continued to romp and clown

Which is why the cats got sick and tired plotting to retake Pussytown

They cut down trees—only the juicy ones where the dogs just loved to pee

And since the dogs couldn’t go like cats it was a funny sight to see

Twice a week they hid the dog food, it drove those suckers insane

They’d yelp and whine with puppy dog eyes, but their pleas were all in vain

The cats meowed both loud and long to show they weren’t afraid

‘Cause they had all learned tae kwon do so no pussies were getting laid

They hissed, they scratched, and their technique thoroughbreds could not surpass

Since when they kicked, they put their claws into it and cut some doggy ass

Things changed very quickly after that, dogs were under heavy manners

‘NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT’ was written larger than life on purrfect banners

Each dog sure learned a lesson, they don’t chase cats up and down

They respect the players who own the game

Pussies only rule Pussytown
