For my cat friends


We're the Mafia cats
Bugsy, Franco and Toni
We're crazy for pizza
With hot pepperoni
We run all the rackets
From gambling to vice
On St valentines day
We massacre mice
We always wear shades
To show that we are meanies
Big hats and sharp suits
And drive Lamborghinis

We're the Mafia Cats
Bugsy, Franco and Toni
Love sicilian wine
And cheese macaroni
But we have a secret
(And if you tell
You'll end up with the kitten
At the bottom of the well
Or covered in concrete
And thrown into the deep
For this is one secret
You really must keep)

We're the Cosa Nostra
Run the scams and the fiddles
But at home we are Mopsy, Ginger and Tiddles.

(Mafia Cats by Roger McGough)
