I'm Nobody's Mama (from episode 39)

Music by Deanna Oliver. 

Rita : I'm nobody's mama

Got no family

I'm a career cat

And my career is all about me.

No one can tie me down

I'm going places

Straighten up

Don't make those silly sad faces

It's rude.

Kttns: Mew?

Rita : All right, I'll get food.

(spoken) But that's it! After that, you're on your own.



Rita : I'm too independent

They're so small

How can I care for them?

Do I care at all?

I could never stand "Help me, Mama; Feed me, Mama

Need me, Mama; Don't leave me, Mama."

I'd never tolerate that.

On the other hand, "Oh, my Mama; I love you, Mama

I will never leave you, Mama."

No! You've got the wrong cat!



Rita : And did I mention

They'll want too much attention

I'll worry about 'em each day, every minute

I gotta tell you my head isn't in it.

I won't let my heart talk

'Cause it's ruled by my biological clock

Which is ticking away.

No way!

I mean what I say!

I'm a single cat stray!

I'm nobody's mama!
