LYRICS
What's a matter fatcat, you can't eat that?
There's a whole ‘nuther bag if you finish that.
Breaking out baste on the side of the sack
Another bag hits in the hole of my back.

Punch my card in the click of the lock
with a ricci ticci ticci ticky ticky tock
Red clock cried on the rise of a break,
This whole design is entirely fake

Fat cat pound on the side of my head,
office time entirely dead
sell my face a temperature gage,
pour my blood in an hourly wage

Fat Cat don’t you rail on my head
Fat Cat just get outta my bed
Fat Cat splat on the side of the street
Fat Cat melt in a blaze of white heat

XYLOPHONE SOLO
FLUTE SOLO

What's a matter fatcat, you can't eat that?
There's a whole nuther bag if you finish that
Spreadsheet cell on the side of my sheet,
Bar graph melts in the black of the street.

Fat cat won’t you give me a raise?
Don’t you know I have to get paid?
I can’t work for a piece of the pie
Every quarter I die and I die

Fatcat, fatcat, fatcat, fatcat

Fatcat won’t you give me the stock,
sand grout down the break of a rock
Paychecks float away in the bleed,
don’t forget to crawl on your knees

Fatcat, fatcat, fatcat, fatcat

Fatcat wailed on the side of my bed
That cat died in my head
Fat cat died on the fade of the street
Beauty meat, serrated, complete.
