Black Is the Color (of My Cat's Fur)

Black is the color of my cat's fur

Her whiskers are like the finest myrrh

She has the kindest eyes and the gentlest paws

I love the ground whereon they fall

I love my cat, and well, she knows

I love the nails, I clip from her toes

At the end of the day, I come home to her

Craddled in my arms, I massage her neck. She purrs

Black is the color of my cat's fur

Her whiskers are like the finest myrrh

She has kindest eyes and the gentlest paws

I love the ground whereon they fall

I'll go to the pound, and I'll mourn and weep

Till the stray kill laws, they no more will keep

(I'll) Write Congress this letter beg them to spare cat lives

I'll ask you to share this songs a thousand times

Black is the color of my cat's fur

Her whiskers are like the finest myrrh

She has kindest eyes and the gentlest paws

I love the ground whereon they fall
