Ev'ry dog will have its day Thats what people used to say Nowadays thats not the case Cuz theres a fat cat runs the place (Chorus): While the cats away the rats will surely go down Listen up cuz im tellin you the low down What does it matter if hes getting fatter What does it matter if fat cat keeps getting fatter(End Chorus) Fat cat keeps getting fatter He comes in most ev'ry night Wakes me up before daylight All around that house of mine Its pit pat pit pat pit pat all the time (Chorus)
