WHY MEOW?

I don’t know why this happened I don’t know what I did
Before I woke this morning
I swear I was a kid

 

I had two smooth cheeks
And a nose that was always dry Maybe this all happened Because I told a lie

 

Or maybe it was that trick I pulled On that wretched old hag
When I snuck into her chamber And stole her magic bag

 

If I only knew my future,
When I swapped it for an ol’ sack I swear it wasn’t thievery
I was going to give it back

 

I never thought she had it in her To do something so cruel
To banish me to a cat tower
I guess I was a fool

 

But this, I could have never guessed To become part cat and part girl
I’ve grown great big whiskers
And a tail that won’t uncurl

 

Guess I should’ve known
That the ol’ witch couldn’t take a joke Maybe she’ll take pity on me
Or just condemn me ’til I croak

 

Now I’m in a feline prison Oh what do I do now
Oh I think it’s useless
Oh why me, why MEOW?
