The Bowl Thief Blues

Intro

(Slide guitar solo)

Mm-mm-mm

Lord she's a mean one

Verse 1

That old Keke's eyes

Shine like copper on the shelf

She's got a selfish spirit

Always keeping to herself

Then comes little Lilly

Dancing 'round on tiny feet

Now Keke's in a fury

When they share a scrap of meat

Chorus

Mean old Keke

With a heart like a rusty stone

Wants to rule the kitchen

And keep her crown upon the throne

She hates to see you petting

Anything that's small and gray

Oh that Keke's gonna huff

Until the kitten goes away

Verse 2

The kitten's bowl is empty

Before she takes a single bite

Keke steals the dinner

In the middle of the night

Now Keke's looking heavy

Dragging low across the rug

Her waist is getting wider

From every stolen mug

Chorus

Mean old Keke

With a heart like a rusty stone

Wants to rule the kitchen

And keep her crown upon the throne

She hates to see you petting

Anything that's small and gray

Oh that Keke's gonna huff

Until the kitten goes away

Bridge

Don't you look at Lilly

Don't you call her name

Keke starts her growling

Like a low and steady flame

She's thick around the middle

She's huffing on the floor

The more she eats the kitten's meal

The more she's wanting more

Chorus

Mean old Keke

With a heart like a rusty stone

Wants to rule the kitchen

And keep her crown upon the throne

She hates to see you petting

Anything that's small and gray

Oh that Keke's gonna huff

Until the kitten goes away
