cat show

I love this girl whose eyes go flat
she never says "much" just "this" and "that"
and she hasn't any dog, just one sleek cat
but that dog's been sniffing around

I know that dog's neither here nor hers
It sits, it can speak just not in words
its obedience school suspiciously burned
to the ground, now that dog keeps
sniffing around

she tells me she don't have sex with dogs
I want to believe, because nobody does
at least nobody so sane and sound
- but that dog's been sniffing around.

I guess ultimately it's grounds for trust
when this girl says she loves you "because" and "just"
- it shows that it's just because of you
but that dog keeps sniffing like punks on glue,
and it wouldn't be right
to tar her cat. Or to bell it so it jingles
- a cheery sound! But you can't say animals
are all the same. Some need to slink.
And some sniff around
