Well, I worked from home, just the other day
Typing at my PC in the usual way
I had mails to send, and things to say
But Kitty wants attention, yeah, she wants to play
I heard the pitter-patter of feline feet
And I think it she "Delete", oh
I know she hit delete

There's a cat on the keyboard and it's having fun
But please don't ask me what it's done
I'm sure my file was there before
But it ain't any more, no
It isn't there no more


Well, I went online just the other day
Organizing money in the usual way
I did balance checks, had bills to pay
But Kitty wants attention and won't go away
My on-line banking website was in front of me
When the cat it hit a key, oh
It surely hit a key

There's a cat on the keyboard as I bank on-line
It's giving away all that's mine
I'm not exactly sure who it sent money to
Did it send cash to you, hey?
Did it send cash to you?


Wrote my first book, just the other day
Finally finished my opus vivend-ay
I thought it had been saved away
But Kitty must have reckoned it was not OK
I don't know what it was that she had stepped upon
But now the book's all gone, oh
My whole life's work is gone...

There's a cat on the keyboard and I go beserk
At all my whole life's missing work
And then I saw a disk that she'd begun to chew
She got the backup, too, oh
She chewed the backup too


Well, I wrote a song just the other day
Typing it in notepad in the usual way
When this thing popped up, got in the way
Highlighted the whole thing like a Ctrl+A
I guess it should have come as no surprise to me
She found the right mouse key, oh
She likes the right mouse key

She must have hit a comma with her little claws
And made a, little, clause, oh
Her claws, have made a clause

There's a cat on the keyboard as I write this song
I guess that's why it's all typed wrafsds
And I think before I post it that I'd better pause
Before she'll use her paws
I'll pause before her paws
