Smooth Criminal - Feline version.
[Intro]
Meow!
Cha!
Shoo-ca-choo-ca!
[Verse 1]
As they leaped onto the window
Was a sound, a playful crescendo
They scurried through the hallway
They left the fur stains in their playway
They ran beneath the table
With their pounces, so unstable
Then they darted to the kitchen
They were up to mischief, no inhibition
[Pre-Chorus]
Mittens, are you okay?
So, Mittens, are you okay? Are you okay, Mittens?
Whiskers, are you okay?
So, Whiskers, are you okay? Are you okay, Whiskers?
Mittens, are you okay?
So, Mittens, are you okay? Are you okay, Mittens?
Whiskers, are you okay?
So, Whiskers, are you okay? Are you okay, Whiskers?
[Chorus]
Mittens, are you okay?
Will you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sound from the window
Then they jumped up, what a show, Mittens
They came into the living room
Left their paw prints with a zoom
And then they ran into the garden
Oh, they’re wild, it’s a pardon
[Post-Chorus]
Mittens, are you okay?
So, Mittens, are you okay? Are you okay, Mittens?
Whiskers, are you okay?
So, Whiskers, are you okay? Are you okay, Whiskers?
[Refrain]
You've been hit by—
You've been struck by—
A smooth kitty!
[Verse 2]
So they crept in through the hallway
It was nap time, what a wild day
Every time I tried to find them
They're jumping with no clues behind them
And they had no way of knowing
Of the plans that they were flowing
Paw-to-paw in playful imitation
Sounding purrs, what a sensation
[Pre-Chorus]
Mittens, are you okay?
So, Mittens, are you okay? Are you okay, Mittens?
Whiskers, are you okay?
So, Whiskers, are you okay? Are you okay, Whiskers?
Mittens, are you okay?
So, Mittens, are you okay? Are you okay, Mittens?
Whiskers, are you okay?
So, Whiskers, are you okay? Are you okay, Whiskers?
[Chorus]
Mittens, are you okay?
Will you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sound from the window
Then they jumped up, what a show, Mittens
They came into the living room
Left their paw prints with a zoom
And then they ran into the garden
Oh, they’re wild, it’s a pardon
[Post-Chorus]
Mittens, are you okay?
Are you okay, Mittens?
Whiskers, are you okay?
Are you okay, Whiskers?
[Refrain]
You've been hit by—
You've been struck by—
A smooth kitty!
[Interlude]
Choo-cha, choo-cha
Meow!
Okay, I want everybody to clear the area right now!
[Breakdown]
Meow!
Hoo!
Hoo!
Hoo!
Hoo!
Meow!
[Chorus]
Mittens, are you okay? (I don't know)
Will you tell us that you're okay? (I don't know)
There's a sound from the window (I don't know)
Then they jumped up, what a show, Mittens (I don't know)
They came into the living room (I don't know)
Left their paw prints with a zoom (I don't know why, baby)
And then they ran into the garden (Help me)
Oh, they're wild, it’s a pardon, Mittens (Doggone it)
Mittens, are you okay? (Doggone it, baby)
Will you tell us that you're okay? (Doggone it, baby)
There's a sound from the window (Doggone it, baby)
Then they jumped up, what a show, Mittens (Hoo! Hoo!)
They came into the living room (Doggone it)
Left their paw prints with a zoom (Hoo!)
And then they ran into the garden (Hoo! Hoo!)
Oh, they're wild, it’s a pardon (Doggone it)
[Outro]
Meow!
Meow!
Shoo-cha-choo

We Didn't Start the Fire (Canadian Edition)
Maple syrup, poutine fries, Garand rifle, ringing ping!
Superman’s from here, you know, Wolverine, Deadpool—Let’s go!
Todd McFarlane, Spawn’s alive, Darwyn Cooke, Fiona’s vibes
Bryan Adams, Summer’s Here, Nickelback? (We won’t sneer)
(Verse 2)
Reboot, Due South, Mounties in the frozen mouth
Schitt’s Creek, Kids in Hall, Great White North still standing tall!
Pam Anderson, Baywatch queen, Ryan Reynolds, movie screens
Elliot Page, standing proud, Justin versus Mango Clown
(Chorus)
We didn’t start the fire
We keep the North strong, even when it’s all wrong
We didn’t start the fire
Though the world’s deranged, we just keep our range
(Verse 3)
Canadian whiskey, beer so strong, A&W, hockey songs
Tragically Hip, BTO, Blue Rodeo on the go
CBC, Terry Fox, never stops, curling rocks
Hayley Wick, Sid the Kid, Slapping Pucks, We’re Never Mid
(Verse 4)
Stratford plays, Anne Green Gables, RUSH and Neil Peart’s fables
Tommy Douglas, Medicare, Trump’s a joke but we still care
Northern Lights, Snowbirds fly, CN Tower scraping sky
Prairie fields, Stompin’ Tom, sorry if this list is long
(Chorus)
We didn’t start the fire
We keep the North strong, even when it’s all wrong
We didn’t start the fire
Though the world’s deranged, we just keep our range
(Verse 5)
Wayne & Shuster, making fun, Friendly Giant, Ernie’s son
Mr. Dressup, Tickle Trunk, never let our spirits sunk
Polkaroo, Fred Penner’s door, Corner Gas, we still want more
Sharon, Lois, Bram would sing, ‘Skinamarinky-dinky-ding’"
(Chorus)
We didn’t start the fire
We keep the North strong, even when it’s all wrong
We didn’t start the fire
Though the world’s deranged, we just keep our range
(Bridge – Trump Takedown)
Orange clown, wall’s a joke, tried a coup, nearly choked
Tiny hands, Putin’s pawn, keeps on running, why’s he on?
Fox News lies, screaming tweets, lost the race, can’t take defeat
We just watch, shake our heads, "Take him back!" but England dreads
(Final Chorus)
We didn’t start the fire
From coast to coast, we still raise a toast
We didn’t start the fire
Oh, the North stays free, while you sink in misery
