Fat Cat Sitting on a Mat

Fat cat sitting on a mat
What colour are you and what do you do
Do you think of others
As they think of you

Fat cat sitting on a mat
You’re green, pink, red and bright
Do you worry
When home at night

Fat cat sitting on a mat
Altered ego since you were a boy
Where did you go
In this persona just a ploy

Fat cat sitting on a mat
I’ve seen you grow for many years
You’d hate me to tell
But I’ve seen your tears

Fat cat sitting on a mat
It’s not a crime to crack a smile
You used to do it
But it’s been a while

Fat cat sitting on a mat
Your comfort now’s a pile of money
When did that happen?
You don’t know, funny

Fat cat sitting on a mat
It’s not too late to start
Stretch your legs
And stretch your heart

Fat cat sitting on a mat
Is this really a life?
Kids indoors
And somewhere a wife

Fat cat sitting on a mat
And when that’s that
Will anyone worry?
No, just change the mat
