Cat and Mouse

[Verse 1]
A little liquor was spilled on the barroom floor
The bar was closed for the night
When this little gray mouse from a little black hole
Came slipping into neon light
He lapped up the liquor on the barroom floor
And on his haunches he sat
In his biggest mousey voice, he roared
"Bring on that pussy cat!"

[Chorus A]
He sang, "Here kitty kitty
Don't you take pity on this little ole country mouse
See, I'm tired of being chased around this honky-tonk cat house
So if you're feeling hungry
You come try to take a bite
You'll use up all of your nine lives tonight"

[Chorus B]
Thеre's always somebody bigger
And baddеr
And meaner
Than you'll ever be
But the magic in drinking is it
Gets you to thinking
That you're bigger
And badder
And meaner
But you're just drunker than you ought to be

[Verse 2]
The old tom cat, he was taking a nap
When he heard the little mouse roar
He licked his chops, and with one big huff
The little mouse was no more
So feeling satisfied and fat
He found him a puddle of beer
He started drinking, then he started thinking
"I wish that dog was here"

[Chorus A]
He sang, "Rover, hey Rover
I dare you come over
And tango with this alley cat tonight
Your bully days are over, man
I don't care if you're a Dover man
I'm the king of the jungle and I'm hunting for a fight"

[Chorus B]
There's always somebody bigger
And badder
And meaner
Than you'll ever be
But the magic in drinking is it
Gets you to thinking
That you're bigger
And badder
And meaner
But you're just drunker than you ought to be

[Outro]
Yeah, the magic in drinking is it
Gets you to thinking
You're a lawyer...
And a lover...
And a movie star...
And a, a gynecologist...
And a, uh, an expert in karate...
But you're just drunker than you ought to be
