The Lyrics
I’m a kitty,
though I’m pretty. . .
sometimes slitty, and if I should bite,
have some pity:
it’s just instinct when I get a fright
I’m so charming
and disarming,
but I’m arming, though charming, with steel-
like claws slitty,
when brandished can induce a pain squeal.
See that kitty curl up, at the tube glare
can it TV-irate cat* be?
You’ve a slitty face,
not a pretty mess
if you kitty rile. . .
let the kitty be
I’m real cunning—
first I’m lancing
Your thumb, running
off, prancing; annoyed
are you ’cause
my thumb-sunderers were deployed.
*anagram of “attractive,” from the OS
though I’m pretty. . .
sometimes slitty, and if I should bite,
have some pity:
it’s just instinct when I get a fright
I’m so charming
and disarming,
but I’m arming, though charming, with steel-
like claws slitty,
when brandished can induce a pain squeal.
See that kitty curl up, at the tube glare
can it TV-irate cat* be?
You’ve a slitty face,
not a pretty mess
if you kitty rile. . .
let the kitty be
I’m real cunning—
first I’m lancing
Your thumb, running
off, prancing; annoyed
are you ’cause
my thumb-sunderers were deployed.

I like cats, but I've learned to develop fast reflexes around them. You never know when something will tick one off. Cats are also quite self-absorbed, making this an appropriate song for a feline.
The cat's meow-555!!!
I'm feline it...
John, I have a cat who clawed me when he was happy, a sort of 'pet and run quick' kitty. Funny, Pip and I have something in a similar vein to this that we will be releasing soon.
As the Mario Brothers told the Wright Brothers in "Epic Rap Battles of History," you may fly like a hawk, but you fight like a kitty!
I love cats - even their claws.
