Lyric

(Nya-nya! Oh no, meow!)

In my dreams, I’m casting out my line

Beyond the sea where the ripples shine

BAM! A giant marlin leaps so high

"This is the one!" I shout to the sky!

A feast for the ages is drawing near!

How many slices of sashimi is that?

Imagining the fatty tuna, a very happy cat…

(Zzz…) Wait… what’s this quiet in the air?

NYA-NYA-NYA! I OVERSLEPT, MEOW!

The Cat Meeting starts in five seconds—HOW?!

Leaping from the blankets, a landing on the floor

Sprinting down the hallway, diving through the door!

I made it just in time, but I’m out of breath, it’s true

Where did my dream of the marlin go? I haven’t a clue!

(Huff… puff…) Maybe I should set three alarms next time…

One quick lick to fix my fur at the gate

(Gotta look cool even when I’m late)

But the stares from the gang are stinging my skin

"Overslept again?" they say with a grin

That marlin from my dream, I bet he’s out there

Laughing in the ocean without a single care

Next time, I’m gonna reel him in for sure!

NYA-NYA-NYA! I OVERSLEPT, MEOW!

The Cat Meeting starts in five seconds—HOW?!

Leaping from the blankets, a landing on the floor

Sprinting down the hallway, diving through the door!

I made it just in time, but I’m out of breath, it’s true

Where did my dream of the marlin go? I haven’t a clue!

Stopping for a detour on the long walk home

By the park pond where the dragonflies roam

A cloud in the sky looks like a marlin to me

I’m searching for my fishing rod instinctively!

NYA-NYA-NYA! I OVERSLEPT, MEOW!

The Cat Meeting starts in five seconds—HOW?!

Leaping from the blankets, a landing on the floor

Sprinting down the hallway, diving through the door!

I made it just in time, but I’m out of breath, it’s true

Where did my dream of the marlin go? I haven’t a clue!

Another meeting done, another day goes by

On the road back home, I’m starting to sigh…

(Zzz… Mr. Marlin… wait for me, meow…)
