Pookie's a Dude
by John Richards (c) BMI

V1
Who's that cat slinkin' by
as you catch a glimpse from your eye,
The cat with the shiny coat
one must pause and seems to me
to have some pedigree
but you better stay away from those claws.

V2
The cats name is Pookie
and while it may sound kookie
At the risk of being rude, I conclude
The name don't do him justice...
And it just don't do no good to fuss at
His feline attitude

Chorus:

You walk into a room
He's nowhere in sight
always puttin' on a serious attitude.
You might say he's a pussycat
You might say he's a kitty cat,
but he comes on fightin' scratchin' and bitin'
Getting under your skin if you're rude.
'cause Pookie's a dude.
Pookie's a dude...

Guitar solo

Chorus

You walk into a room
He's nowhere in sight.
Always puttin' on a serious attitude.
You might say he's a kitty cat.
You might say he's a pussycat.
but he comes on fightin' scratchin' and bitin'
gettin' under your skin if you're rude
'cause Pookie's a dude.
Pookie's a dude

Narration:
Hey there Pookie!
Hey there Pookie where are you cat?

I got some uh Tender Vitals.
No dice huh.
Well then how about some Fancy Feast?
Still no luck.
Pookie?
How about some meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow
meow meow meow meow meow mix?

Pookie? Pookie?
How about some cat nip?
