Villain's Cat: A Job Application
lyrics and melody by Catherine Faber 2012

I've got the eerie grace, and the emerald stare;
I've got the hidden knives, the glossy sable hair,
I've got the sharp tuxedo with the white cravat--
I ought to be a James Bond villain's cat

Cogitation makes me certain that;
I ought to be a James Bond villain's cat!

I want the rare roast beef, not the contemptible crumbs.
I want devoted servants with opposable thumbs.
I want the patronage that would provide me that.
I ought to be a James Bond villain's cat!

Cogitation makes me certain that,
I ought to be a James Bond villain's cat!

I want the formal pond with the endangered fish
I want the heavy cream from a crystal dish
I want the luxury that is my habitat--
I ought to be a James Bond villain's cat.

I've got the sharp tuxedo with the white cravat
But I'm not cut out to be a diplomat.
I want the luxury that is my habitat
I ought to be a James Bond villain's cat!

The little problem here has not escaped my eye:
The villain ends up dead when Mr. Bond comes by,
But when the chips are down, I am an acrobat
I ought to be a James Bond villain's cat!

Cogitation makes me certain that,
I ought to be a James Bond, ought to be a James Bond,
Ought to be a James Bond villain's cat!

I write much faster than I can record. Recent songs may be found at my website--the URL is given below.
