"That cat had it in for me": to be sung to the tune
of "This Land Is Your Land, This Land Is My Land"
(with apologies to Woodie Guthrie)

As I was walking, down a concrete pathway
I smelled the garbage, and I got hungry
So I stopped to eat there from those leftovers
But that cat, she had it in for me.

As I chewed down there, I heard from near
A little bell ringing, on the cat Leah,
I tried to escape, but still she caught me
That cat, she had it in for me.

And first she hit me and then she bit me
And then she bit me, and then she hit me,
And then she toyed with my life a little,
That cat, she had it in for me.

Then Tracy found, she found and got me,
She saved my life from the cat that caught me,
I thought I was safe then for I'd been rescued!
That cat had had it in for me.

But I was was bleeding, and I was dying
As in the Birkenstocks box I was lying
And as I passed on I was thinking,
That cat, she had it in for me.
--Nicodemus (with a nod to Woody Guthrie)
