Tabula

A monster lurks down our street

With an evil yellow eye

He's mean and he's green

And he's always seen

When the full moon's in the sky

He's worse than a wolf, or a bat

Or a rat

And he'll give you a bigger fright.

He's Tabula, the vampire cat

And he haunts the lanes all night.

He comes from Catsylvania,

At least, that's what they say.

But nobody knows

Where he always goes

When the night turns into day.

Is it a tomb where a ghost cat groans ?

Does he sleep among the dead

Where his kitty coffin guards his bones

Until the daylight's fled ?

He would give a rabbit nightmares

He can make alsatians shiver

He can rip apart

A hamster's heart

And mash a mouse's liver.

He's known to Baron Catkinstein

Who raises up the dead,

And a fearsome beast

Joins his nightly feast,

The were-cat, Furry Fred.

We keep our pets indoors at night

By bribing them with treats.

So you'll never see a stray cat stroll

In our moonlit, silent streets.

You'll never hear a barking dog,

Nor the hoot of a lonely owl

When Tabula, the vampire cat

Sets off on his nightly prowl.

Furry Fred

Furry Fred is a werewolf cat

With a massive pair
