Cleopatra's Cat Lyrics

Cleopatra's favorite cat

 Got his hands on Caesar's spats

 The heat was on as you could see

 So he front 'em to Mark Antony.

 Said, "My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me."

 Caesar had an eye for clothes

 He saw them spats and said, "I like those."

 Caesar had no thing to say, except,

 "Jesu Christi Domine,

 Et tu, Brute,

 Jesu Christi Domine,

 Et tu, Brute."

 The senate tried to sympathize

 It was the cat they should despise

 Informant told his whereabouts

 Centurions to seek him out

 Centurions! There go the centurions.

 Brutus had to turn his head

 When THIS cat done went and said,

 "If he's got this thing for shoes,

 He just might be ambitious, too.

 They got holidays all in his name,

 And all a tyrant needs is fame.

 Those fascists don't play pretty games

 Egypt is the place to be...

 But Rome is a democracy.

 Rome!"

 Caesar never got them back

 'Cause they killed his ass in the second act.

 Brutus spoke, then Antony:

 Said, "My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me.

 Friends, Romans, can't you see

 My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me

 Egypt's biggest rivalry:

 Cleopatra's cat and me."
