The Beautiful South - The Cat Loves the Mouse lyrics

We've come a long way from the cave What, you started to shave? Now we know just how to behave Since chivalry decided to bathe And as the skirts we wore were increasingly high Till the hem was just a cloud in the sky And the chat up lines got increasingly fly As the truth bought a suit and a tie The cat loves the mouse The mouse loves the cheese The bees love the birds The birds love those bees The bee loves that honey So honey please Why are we so different to these? So when I'm old and I'm grey You know you already are When I'm overweight You know you already are If I've overstayed my welcome by a day Just feel free to say You know I already have And as the skirts we wore were increasingly high Till the hem was just a cloud in the sky And the chat up lines got increasingly fly As the truth bought a suit and a tie The cat chases bird To the top of the tree The dog chases postman To the end of the street The postman he chases Every girl that he meets So why are we so different to these? I've been your bird, I've been your b**h I've been whatever B you ever wished I've been your cat, I've been your chick I've been which ever C you thought to pick I've been your bat, I've been your cow I've been whichever B and C that you'd allow I've been your dog, your dragon and your duck I've been whatever D you thought was cool to f**
