Lyrics

[Intro] Kitten on the moon! Kitten on the moon! You ought to see her pounce, that kitten on the moon Kitten on the moon! Kitten on the moon! You ought to see her pounce, that kitten on the moon [Verse 1] A tourist came to Luna Base, and he brought along his cat She charmed everybody there in just two hours flat A little half-grown Siamese, who loved to purr and play: The crew paid off her owner just to make sure she could stay [Chorus] That kitten on the moon! Kitten on the moon! You ought to see her pounce, that kitten on the moon [Verse 2] Now kitty loved that moon base, and the lower gravity She learned to leap a dozen yards, and pounce in one-sixth G A tourist came to watch her caroming off the wall The crew made big bucks selling tapes of kitty playing ball [Chorus] That kitten on the moon! Kitten on the moon! You ought to see her pounce, that kitten on the moon [Verse 3] Then up come a bunch of terrorists, yelling: "Alla-walla-yabba-dabba-do!" Meaning: "We're gonna blow the whole place up. Don't care if we die too." None of them noticed kitty-cat lying on the overhead pipe Until their boss walked underneath, and she gave a mighty swipe [Chorus] That kitten on the moon! Kitten on the moon! You ought to see her pounce, that kitten on the moon [Verse 4] Their boss-man yelled and jumped real hard, which wasn't very smart He cracked his skull on the ceiling, which promptly stopped his heart The other punks yelled "Satan! Satan!" and tried to catch that cat But to run and jump in one-sixth G? They hadn't trained for that [Chorus] Kitten on the moon! Kitten on the moon! You ought to see her pounce, that kitten on the moon [Verse 5] Kitty led them a merry chase on the ceiling and the walls It became a 3-D pool game, with flapping, squawking balls The station crewmen grabbed their chance, and as each punk flew past They grabbed and bopped and tied him up until they'd caught the last [Chorus] That kitten on the moon! Kitten on the moon! You ought to see her pounce, that kitten on the moon [Verse 6] So they held the moon's first trial, and the terrorists got the boot— Straight out the nearest airlock, without benefit of suit But kitty was a hero, and the whole staff paid the bill To ship up tanks for breeding fish so the cat could eat her fill [Pre-Chorus] Now there's fishing on the moon! Fishing on the moon! Thanks to kitty-cat, there's fishing on the moon [Chorus] That kitten on the moon! Kitten on the moon! You ought to see her pounce, that kitten on the moon That kitten on the moon!
