"My Baby Just Purrs" lyrics
T Bone Burnett & Elvis Costello Lyrics
"My Baby Just Purrs"
She said, "Don't whimper and fret, I might not make you my pet
I'd give you a name but you're not quite tame"
There was a mad dog loose so she called the police
They sent out a catcher with a rope and a leash
What's the matter with these people today?
They're gonna take a little monkey and blast him to Mars
I'm not the kind of animal you put behind bars
I walk around upright
I'm not crawling on all fours
My baby just purrs, "You're mine, you're mine, not hers"
When we go out walking at night, she says
"Come here baby you know I don't bite"
I don't want a mate, I don't want a rival
It's a matter of survival
I begin to growl, you slip out on the prowl
The moon comes up and I begin to howl
What's the matter with these people today?
They're gonna take a little monkey and blast him to Mars
I'm not the kind of animal you put behind bars
I walk around upright
I'm not crawling on all fours
My baby just purrs, "You're mine, you're mine, not hers"
Sometimes she's human kind with all her gifts and spoils
She likes to tease the boys, she might even kiss the girls
What's the matter with these people today?
They're gonna take a little monkey and blast him to Mars
I'm not the some kind of animal you put behind bars
I walk around upright
I'm not crawling on all fours
My baby just purrs, "You're mine, you're mine, not hers"
My baby just purrs, "You're mine, you're mine, not hers"
My baby just purrs, "You're mine, you're mine, not hers"

Paul Kelly - "Eight Hours Sleep" All I want is eight hours sleep
What I'd give for eight hours sleep
On my feet again
At the windowpane
Watching the cold moon riding on the deep
Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care
