Mr. Spacecat

Woke up this afternoon with a light in my eyes
And then realized it was snowing outside
Then I saw a new toy on the floor
I didn't know who it was for

Must be that baby that wakes up every night
Those hungry cries have put all the cats uptight
She's got a blue-green saucer that glows in the dark
I hope this will help her sleep all right

Hey, I'm Mr. Spacecat
I'd like to take you along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, I'm Mr. Spacecat
I'd like to take you along for a ride

After spinning around, I was feeling quite weird
It was what I had feared, my cat food was smeared
All over the window, the baby had written my name
Said, never take a ride in my saucer again

Hey, I'm Mr. Spacecat
I wish I could take you along
But I did something wrong
Hey, I'm Mr. Spacecat
I wish I could take you along for a ride


Translator's Note: I thought it was a bit funny that the cat was inspired by the Byrds. Actually, our baby is too young to take a spin on that saucer. I don't know how she communicated to Dima that he is no longer allowed on it.
