Dan Bern - Favorite Cat lyrics

Look, there is our favorite cat Lying on the porch in the sun When it's time for you to go to school Maybe he can come along with you Maybe he'll carry all of your pens Maybe you can set him out some food When the teacher asks you to go up to the board Maybe he can go up there for you He'll draw pictures, he'll add numbers He'll write book reports, imagine that Some things you'll have to do for yourself You're a girl after all and he's a cat Whistle Look, there is our favorite cat Lying on the porch in the sun When it's time for you to go to school Maybe he can come along with you Maybe he'll carry all of your pens Maybe you can set him out some food When the teacher asks you to come up to the board Maybe he can go up there for you He'll draw pictures, he'll add numbers He'll write book reports, imagine that Some things you'll have to do for yourself You're a girl after all and he's a cat Look, there is our favorite cat Lying on the porch in the sun When it's time for you to go to school Maybe he can come along with you Maybe he can come along with you
