When you caress your little cat
And stroke me with your hand
I know I'm just a kitten but
I long to be a man
My little eyes are Chinese blue
They view with some regret

And I'm down here... a cat
(I am a kitten)
And though I'd love to be loved
I've got to face the fact:
The gods who made you a human being
Created me... a cat
(I am a kitten... meow)
