The quantum cat

Verse 1

When I first heard 'bout Schrödinger's cat

I thought maybe the cat ate a poisoned bat

Or too many rats and just got fat

So fat that it just sat

Verse 2

With being so fat was it dead instead?

Isn't that what Schrödinger said?

The cat could be alive or dead?

Or maybe replaced with a younger head?

Verse 3

But the cat being both alive and dead

That just messes with my head

Open the box and take a look

Maybe the cat's a goose that's cooked

Verse 4

Maybe it's just there

Reading a book

Does it depend on when you look?

Maybe it's a chook?

Chorus

Let's leave it locked and walk away

Nobody knows and who's to say

The cat is not a vicious stray

Safer to have it X-rayed

Just leave the box alone today

Whether one cat or a pair

Unconscious or aware

Stone cold dead or feeling fair

One thing's for certain

There's a cat in there
