I Love to Chase Balls and Make Them Roll: A Sports Song For Cats

Daddy, and I, often find our poetic inspiration from the works of others, and in 2007 he wrote a piece with humble apologies to Jake Hooker and Alan  Merrill (Listen and enjoy!), hee, hee. ;-D

In Fall 2008, he was surprised, humbled, and honored, when Alan Merrill  (Original Song Lyrics are here.) left a comment to compliment him on the piece that he had written.

That piece, and the e-mail correspondence shared between them, can be read here:

Rock and Roll Icon Digs Parody by Yours Truly!

Well, the other night, I awoke from a very sound Snooze suddenly, inexplicably, inspired by the notion that what Daddy could do, I could do as well!.

Just don't ask me to try to explain why the color is so weird on the pictures that Daddy took that day! ;-D

Must be a Rock N Roll, 70's thing, or something. ;-D

Oh, and if all ya got is a Mommy, feel free to replace "Daddy", She for "He", and Her for "Him", when ya sing along. ;-D

 

I love to chase balls, and make them roll by Nikita Cat

I saw them over by the washing machine
The cutest balls I'd ever seen
To play with them just couldn't be wrong
No, it just couldn't be wrong
So I got ready to whack them all day long
Just Me ( yeah me )
I got ready to whack them all day long
Just me ( yeah me )
Meowin'

I love to chase balls, and make them roll !
So put another on the floor Daddy!
I love to chase balls, and make them roll !
Come on spend time playing with me!

 

He smiled as I came up
And purred, and meowed, with no shame
Oh, what cute patter he said
 
Here let's play a game
 
He tossed them all over the home
And I was in a zone
As we kept playing on

 

And he was with me ( yeah me )
As we kept playing on
And he listened to me (yeah me)
Meowin'
 
I love to chase balls, and make them roll !
So put another on the floor Daddy!
I love to chase balls, and make them roll !
Come on spend time
Playing with me!

 

I was in a zone
Him with me alone

As I whacked them all day long
 
And he was with me ( yeah me )
And I was purring and meowing a happy song
( yeah me ) Meowin'
 
I love to chase balls, and make them roll !
So put another on the floor Daddy!
I love to chase balls, and make them roll !
Come on spend time
 
Playing with me!
