I Am a Kitten Songtext
von Momus

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
This girl who's stroking me
Regards me only as her pet

And though I′d love to be loved
The gods ordained it that
You were made a human being
And I turned out a cat

I am a kitten


I hate to sleep all rolled up small
And dream of butterflies
I hate to paw at balls of wool
And massacre poor mice
Stripey tails and pointy ears
Bore me half to tears
Those days have gone for good
Since I saw you in the nude

And though I'd love to be loved
We've got to face the fact:
You′re up there, a human being
And I′m down here, a cat

I am a kitten
I am a kitten

And though I'd love to be loved
I′ve had to face the fact:
The gods who made you a human being
Created me ... a cat

I am a kitten
I am a kitten ... miaow
