It was once upon a time that two lovers sailed away
To the land where the bong tree grew.
And the boat that sailed from their cold uncaring land
Was the sweetest shade of pea green.
For a year and a day,
So the storybooks will say,
Those two lovers wined and dined,
But they did no more than that, for they lacked a wedding ring:
Never kissed. Never touched. Never mind.
because, with a fellow creature of the night, she felt there’s no using getting into heavy petting.
| Chorus: |
Don’t you hear my call, though you may not give a hoot? Don’t you hear me calling you? Let us travel where the law Lets you ask me for my paw, Far from home, where our love was taboo. |
It was once upon a time we two creatures sailed the sea,
On a journey harsh and long.
In the home we fled, interspecies love was banned,
Now you court me sweetly in song.
But you’re watching the night sky:
Some new pussy’s caught your eye.
It was not at stars you gazed.
And the food we packed is gone. It could never last a year.
Honey dear. Honey buns. Honey glazed.
| Chorus: |
Don’t you hear my call, though you may not give a hoot? Don’t you hear me calling you? Let us travel where the law Lets you ask me for my paw, Far from home, where our love was taboo. |
Don’t you hear my call, though you never gave a hoot?
Don’t you hear me calling you?
All your feathers in my claws
Show I may have broken laws.
For nine lives, still ahead, sentence me.
The prosecution argued for making the nine life sentences consecutive rather than concurrent.
