Some people try for a pie in the sky slavin? away just to have it. You could put all of their dreams at our feet but we wouldn?t bother to grab it. They worry and slave, their hours are so long We?re skipping through life with only a song And if trouble?s comin? we?re gone, it?s a habit Cats like us got our own little scene, our own little walk, talk, and song We found a sound on the far side of town In a place where all cats can belong In this whole wide world we don?t stand a chance But we?ll laugh and we?ll love and we?ll party and dance Together only to trust cats like us I?m here to report, life is too short, to spend it a slave to ambition We gotta have fun before our time is done Cause we leave in the same damn condition Some scrimp and save and they barely behave But i swear that they?re missing the point Cause they ain?t got the style and the smile of the cats in this joint
