Cat and Mouse

I run into my hiding place
but you just sit and wait
on the other side of the room.
You patiently groom yourself
though house lady gave you the broom.

Well I ain't tryin to play cat and mouse with you boy.
I don't really care what you thought.
You can chase me all you want but I already told you I ain't even tryin' to get caught.
So, do us both a favor, get more fruits for your labor,
go chase a tail in some other house.
Not willin' to be no fool,
I ain't playin' cat and mouse.

You can bait as many traps as you please.
I have never had a liking for these.
You've so many pretty mices
caught up in your devices
why can't you just leave me be?

Well I ain't tryin to play cat and mouse with you boy.
I don't really care what you thought.
You can chase me all you want
but I ain't even tryin' to get caught.
So, do us both a favor, get more fruits for your labor,
go chase a tail in some other house.
Not willin' to be no fool,
I ain't playin' cat and mouse.

Not willin' to be no fool,
I ain't playin' cat and mouse.
