That Devilish Cat by James Trask (lyrics) & Tiago Videira (music) [V1] Santa Clause brought Me a stray cat Because I’ve been bad all year He stares in my windows He falls asleep on my doormat I yell scat but he don’t hear [CH] He wants to tear the tinsel From my Christmas tree To shred the wrapping paper And pounce on all the ribbons To pull the stockings down Drink all my milk And eat a fancy feast [V2] He howls all night To say it’s cold I shoo him off but he just hides 3am – I give in And let that devilish cat in my home To destroy my Christmas night [mod CH w/one changed word] He got to tear the tinsel From my Christmas tree To shred the wrapping paper And pounce on all the ribbons To pull the stockings down Drink all my milk And eat a fancy feast [BR] I should tell Santa (take him back!) But I'd miss him - that's a fact [repeat mod CH]
