Jeannie C. Riley - Fine Feathered Fowl Lyrics

Sometimes I wish you were a fine feathered fowl

And sometimes I wish I was a cat out on her midnight growl

So if you were a bird you would sing from a cage

And if I were a cat I could watch you all day

And I know in my mind that you'd never get away

If I were a cat and you were a fine feathered fowl



Sometimes I wish you were a ring tailed raccoon

And sometimes I wish I was a hound out bayin' at the moon

So if you were a roccoon you'd be hidin' anythin'

And if I were a hound bayin' you what believe in

You'd never get away from that scene no way soon

If I were a hound and you were a ring tailed raccoon



But if I were a cat and you were a fine fowl

I'd take my little claw and I would caress your fine feathers through the bars

And I'd open up the latch on the door of your cage

And everyone would wonder how that birdie got away

Not one little feather would I leave lay about

If I were a cat and you were a fine fowl (miaw)

If I were a cat and you were a fine fowl (miaw)
