Why did they come here?
Aren’t I good enough for them?
I’ve always been number one,
Got all of their attention, well
I guess that’s done.
Two little kittens, identical twins
Little black devils here to take my place
I just can’t win.
When the kittens are there, it’s “aren’t
they cute”! If you want cute, come
look at me. When I came I was the
Cutest thing you’d ever seen!
They had no home, and remember,
when I was a kitten neither did I.
Gee, break out the tissues, I think
I’m going to cry.
My humans tell me not to hiss and
Growl, I’ll do what I want and get
Back the attention they stole somehow!
