[VERSE]
B F# E B
In the afternoon curled around, taking a nap in the sun
B F# E B A
In the house running after mouse, having a funny dream
B F# E B
At midnight beautiful starlight, jumping up on the wall
B F# E B
From a high place looking down at you, she’s the queen of the night

Fancy free like a cat

[VERSE]
B F# E B
In summer times the sun is bright, lying on a stone in the shade
B F# E B A
In winter time chilly outside, hiding in a blanket
B F# E B
When she gets angry, she is scared her tail fur stands on end
B F# E B
It's just like a hairy caterpillar, be careful of her sharp claws

She doesn't care about the past, she doesn't care about the future
B F# A E
She doesn't care about me, ‘cause she is busy grooming herself-----
