she was a cat
it was a flame
can I make it anymore obvious?
she could not see
her tail in the way
what more can i say?
and all of this time
we thought nothing was wrong
we were too busy singing a song

she was a flaming cat
we said would you look at that
we did not know just what to do
but then my mom put her out
she did not even shout
she did not even seem to know.

a minute from then,
my room smelled real bad
it smelled like singed fur it was oh so sad
we looked at the cat and her tail was burned
but somehow she was real cool with that
we waved off the smoke
and the smell was gone
so much cold have gone wrong

chorus

sorry, cat, you should look out
look then leap if you're in doubt
sorry cat, the saying's true curiosity'll kill you.

she's just a cat, and it's just a flame
can I make it any more obvious?
fire's a hazard
oh haven't you heard
how it can screw up your world?

chorus 2x
