PublicLevel 5 Catastrophe (It Was Just a Nap!)
Lyrics
[Intro, Twangy guitar] [Verse 1] I felt a disturbance I knew something was wrong... I searched the bathroom... I searched the hall... I called out your name... Then I found you... Beneath the fuzzy blanket wall... [Pre-Chorus 1] Why did you vanish... I thought you were gone... In the middle of the afternoon [Chorus 1] It was just a nap! That's what you say! But you never sleep at 2 PM! It's the middle of the day! [Verse 2] I checked your breathing From about a whisker away I sang the song of my people But you still refused to wake I walked across the blankets I licked your face a few times You call it being dramatic I call it saving lives [Pre-Chorus 2] Why did you vanish... I thought you were gone... In the middle of the afternoon [Chorus 2] I sounded the alarm! I did what I had to do! To you I'm just a cat- But I'm looking out for you! [Verse 3] I yowled for backup But Agent Ding Dong wouldn't budge I cried "Our human might be dead!" He just raised his sleepy head He stretched and yawned "Looks fine from over here" So I handled the entire thing Like I always do [dramatic pause] [spoken under breath, sarcastic] I swear he puts the ass in catastrophe [Break, 8 bar guitar solo] [Bridge] I head-butted your shoulder... I sniffed behind your knees... I even stuck my little nose... Directly in your ear... sorry I sneezed You cried "Hey! I was resting!" Well, I thought you were dead! [Final Pre-Chorus] Why did you vanish... I thought you were gone... In the middle of the afternoon [Final Chorus] It was just a nap! That's what you say! But you never sleep at 2 PM! It's the middle of the day! I sounded the alarm! I did what I had to do! To you I'm just a cat... I'm watching out for you! 'Cause I'm in charge of Perimeter! Undercover! Rescue and Resuscitation! Twenty-four hours a day Seven days a week 'Cause somebody's gotta keep an eye on you [Outro - Spoken deadpan] You say it was just a nap... But how was I supposed to know? Why must humans be so difficult? Just stay where I can see you... So I don't have to save you... again...
