Spin Doctors - Cleopatra's Cat lyrics

rate me

Cleopatra's favorite cat

Got his hands on Caesar's spats

The heat was on as you could see

So he front 'em to Mark Antony.

Said, "My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me."

Brutus had an eye for clothes

He saw them spats and said, "I like those."

Caesar had no thing to say, except,

"Jesu Christi Domine,

Et tu, Brute,

Jesu Christi Domine,

Et tu, Brute."

The senate tried to sympathize

It was the cat they should despise

Informant told his whereabouts

Centurions to seek him out

Centurions! There go the centurions.

Brutus had to turn his head

When THIS cat done went and said,

"If he's got this thing for shoes,

He just might be ambitious, too.

They got holidays all in his name,

And all a tyrant needs is fame.

Those fascists don't play pretty games

Egypt is the place to be...

But Rome is a democracy.

Rome!"

Caesar never got them back

'Cause they killed his ass in the second act.

Brutus spoke, then Antony:

Said, "My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me.

Friends, Romans, can't you see

My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me

Egypt's biggest rivalry:

Cleopatra's cat and me."
