You denizens of mousetown
How come you were so fooled
To make the cat you king!!!
What on earth has a rogue to offer
Has he promised you the well of diamonds
Or a kingdom of peace!
You have just enthroned the devil in heaven
And he will feast on your flesh
Beat your skulls with your bones
Bathe in the flood of your own blood
O denizens of mousetown
I mourn your extinction
I wish it was not a cat
That finally became your king
