Cats On the Roof (Including Mr E Oso)

Shaken awake
 Under attack
 A pounding shaking the foundations in the back
 More bump and thump
 Than pit-a-pat
 So stick a toe out in the cold mumbling be right back
 The lightest step to find there's nothing to look at
 And then it's back to bed good luck with that
 ♪
 Now introduce
 A little doubt
 A seed of worry creep across a wrinkled brow
 The mind is on
 The lights are out
 Without a positive ID no telling what's about
 So up again in an attempt to flush them out
 And now there's no mistaking
 It's the truth
 Yeah, yeah
 Cats on the roof
 Yeah, yeah
 Ok and now the gauntlet's down
 Rush out with just the boots on swinging
 You new people think you're tough
 You left the left-side window open just enough
 For me to do my stuff
 If it's a war you want I'll be the first to call that bluff
 Stop when my position becomes clear enough
 And now you can't deny it
 It's the truth
 Yeah, yeah
 Cats on the roof
 Yeah, yeah
 We've been here for years you'd best steer clear
 Or just revise your thinking
 ♪
 Woke up from protracted sleep, the ice was melting
 Stretching limbs I thought of dreams and what they might mean
 A thousand things I put on hold for the time being
 Time to rise and tend to them or go back to sleep
 Ohhh ohhhhh ohhhhh
 It's the truth
 Yeah, yeah
 Cats on the roof
 Yeah, yeah
 Let's call a truce
 Yeah, yeah
 Cats own the roof
 Yeah, yeah
 And now the wire paying out
 Press down the plunger hard and look out
