INDIAN SUMMER KITTY

INDIAN SUMMER KITTY IN THE BACK YARD ALL ALONE

CROUCHED AND VERY STILL LIKE A MOSS COVERED STONE

THE SUNLIGHT DANCES OFF YOUR PRETTY LITTLE NOSE

YOUR THE SWEETEST CAT THERE IS, IN THAT STATUESQUE POSE

INDIAN SUMMER KITTY, HIDING BEHIND A LEAF

THE TIME YOU SPEND OUTSIDE IS SO VERY BRIEF

IF YOUR THOUGHTS COULD BE COLLECTED AND SPOKEN IN A WORD

YOU'D BE CHASING LITTLE CHIPMUNKS OR PERHAPS A LITTLE BIRD

INDIAN SUMMER KITTY IT'S TIME TO COME INSIDE

TO WASH YOUR FACE, LICK YOUR TAIL AND SMILE WITH PRIDE

YOU KNOW THAT INDIAN SUMMER WILL SOON COME TO AN END

AND YOU'LL SPEND THE WINTER MONTHS IN A LAND OF LET'S PRETEND

IF YOU THINK THERE'S MORE EXPECTED THAN TO SIT AND LOOK SO PRETTY

THEN YOU MUST BE SOMEONE ELSE'S INDIAN SUMMER KITTY
