Nine lives?

Blistered bloody paws, razor sharp claws, matted out hair.
There once was a tabby cat who lived without a care.
He was so black, folks saw him superstitious.
And the dogs, well they though he looked delicious!
Born on the streets, in a box next to a drunk bum.
Instead of momma milk he drank from puddle?s and the wino?s rum.
That little heart of yours is gonna need a lot of mending.
Gonna suffer through the beginning but you?re gonna love the ending.

CHORUS
Life aint so bad- Look at all the other kitty?s getting mad!
Life tastes so bland- I want finer things in life shit I?ve never had.

From can to can he jumps- yuk!- sifting through the garbage.
Fishy bones, rotten eggs, a half eaten sandwich.
Rat bites, cat fights getting smacked with the brooms.
Unwanted little feline always dreaming silver spoons.
But no one really cares- not even mom or daddy- which.
Explains why you sleep with the piss in the ally.
He?s so sick of feeling stuck, and smelling like a dump truck.
Mistreated but fine pussy with some bad luck- meow!

CHORUS
Life aint so bad- Look at all the other kitty?s getting mad!
Life tastes so bland- I want finer things in life shit I?ve never had.

Right place- right time trotting past a limo.
?Daddy can I keep him?? Daughter shouted out the window.
?I don?t see why not, alota dirty but he doesn?t hiss.
We?ll clean him take him home and stuff his belly up with tuna fish!?
Purrfect!  Purrfect!  The rich guy wants to keep me- I can?t believe it.
After all these years of the hard pain and unhappiness.
I finally got what I deserve so ?Where?s the catnip bitch!?

CHORUS
Life aint so bad- Look at all the other kitty?s getting mad!
Life tastes so bland- I want finer things in life shit I?ve never had.
