And there are so many beings I love
I long to keep a pet out back
There are so many beings I love
And if I had a barn, I’d keep it packed
But I never could get the way some love Gar-field
Oh no, no way
‘Cause there are so many beings I love,
Oh, seems there are endless beings I love
There are so many beings I love
But I won't do cats
(oh)
No, I won't do cats

Oh, they like to roam so freely
‘N they won’t stay in the yard
They won’t come in when I call, and I stand there screamin’ to no end
Oh, they’ve got coats to admire
But their hearts are made of ice
They’ll gouge out your eyes just ‘cause someone slammed the door; your wounds won’t mend

They’re always so lazy
Take a nap is all they do
They want to enslave me
Make me sift through litter clumped with poo

And they get my stomach a-churnin’
Nothing but disdain they’re earnin’
On top of clean towels their sleepin’, ew!
The laundry’s defeated
And there are so

Many beings I love
Oh I’d take in a ra-BID wolf pack
(ah-ah)
Yeah, there are so many beings I love
I’d for-give a grizzly’s throat attack
(ah-ah)
But I'll never put up with wak-ing up for THEIR two a.m.
Cat fights
Oh, there are so many beings I love
But I won’t do cats
No, I won't do cats

There are so many beings I love
Donkeys, cows, mules I’m dreaming of
But I just won’t do cats!

There are so many beings I love
A goose, a swan, a turtle dove
But I just won't do…

They secretly thrive on violence
And they trip you on the stairs
They hang on your drapes and your bed spread leaving snags, and holes, and tears!

They always lay on you,
When all you wanna do is sleep
Then somehow they con you
And suddenly your pillow’s theirs to keep

While puppies are outside runnin'
Your cat’s in the doorway sunnin'
Reach down for a pet? They’ll hiss at you
In your shoe relieve it
That’s why there are

Many beings I love
Take a vulgar parrot, teach him tact
Yeah, there are so many beings I love
Take a spider whose fangs don’t retract
But I'll never meet a kitty who won’t prompt me to say
“So long, so long!”
‘Cause there are so many beings I love
Oh, I know so many beings I love
There are so many beings I love
But I won't do cats
No, no, no, I won't do...

There are so many beings I love
A kangaroo with boxing gloves
But I just won't do cats!

There are so many beings I love
Five hundred that I’m thinking of
But I just won’t do cats!

There are so many beings I love
Gorillas who just love to shove
But I just won't do cats!

But I'll never stop dreaming of days with no cats in my life
Hoo-ray!
‘Cause there are so many beings I love
But I won't do cats
No, I won't do cats!

(You)
Will you take a pup you found AT the pound?
Even if he’s so lazy he won’t get off of the ground?
With enormous fleas; a steady head cold?

(Me)
I can do that
Oh yeah, now I can do that

(You)
Will you give your tub to THIS trout I just caught?
Gotta make sure he’s got chilly water…or he’ll get too hot!
Will you swim with him so he’s not alone?

(Me)
Now I can do that
Oh yeah, now I can do that

(You)
I’ve got a snake here, he’s an ugly thing
And he’ll wrap himself ‘round you, and he’ll never stop squeezing
‘Til you find you can’t get your breathe on

(Me)
Sure, I’ll do that
Yeah, I’ll do that

(You)
Look at this kitten here, her eyes are so round
And she purrs at a touch, you can’t turn that down!
Give her a minute, and you’ll want her around

(Me)
I won't do that
No, I won't do that

Many beings I love
Oh, there are so many beings I love
Can’t name the many beings I love

But I won’t do cats
No, I won't do cats
