My Baby Just Purrs

She said, “Don’t whimper and fret, I might not make you my pet

I’d give you a name but you’re not quite tame”

There was a mad dog loose so she called the police

They sent out a catcher with a rope and a leash

 

What’s the matter with these people today?

They’re gonna take a little monkey and blast him to Mars

I’m not the kind of animal you put behind bars

I walk around upright

I’m not crawling on all fours

My baby just purrs, “You’re mine, you’re mine, not hers”

 

When we go out walking at night, she says, “Come here baby you know I don’t bite”

I don’t want a mate, I don’t want a rival

It’s a matter of survival

I begin to growl, you slip out on the prowl

The moon comes up and I begin to howl

 

What’s the matter with these people today?

They’re gonna take a little monkey and blast him to Mars

I’m not the kind of animal you put behind bars

I walk around upright

I’m not crawling on all fours

My baby just purrs, “You’re mine, you’re mine, not hers”

 

Sometimes she’s human kind with all her gifts and spoils

She likes to tease the boys, she might even kiss the girls

 

What’s the matter with these people today?

They’re gonna take a little monkey and blast him to Mars

I’m not the some kind of animal you put behind bars

I walk around upright

I’m not crawling on all fours

My baby just purrs, “You’re mine, you’re mine, not hers”

My baby just purrs, “You’re mine, you’re mine, not hers”

My baby just purrs, “You’re mine, you’re mine, not hers”
