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
