I once was a cuddly kitten, But now I am a stray, 'Cause when I was no longer fluffy, They sent me on my way.
They've kept their big watchdog, As he can bark and growl, But I could fly at strangers, If I caught them on the prowl.
I slink around their garbage can; I mew outside their door; But it's clear from their behaviour, They don't want me anymore.
Now I'm cold and hungry, And getting very thin, What have I done to hurt them, Why won't they let me in?
I crouch in sheds and boxes, In my bedraggle fur, So shivery and dejected, I cannot even purr.
They have another kitten, Their children's whole delight; But probably next Christmas, It will share my wretched plight.
