Never Set the Cat On Fire

Never set the cat on fire
You only will annoy it
The flames will make the beast perspire
It surely won’t enjoy it
Likewise do not ignite the dog
The snake, the gerbil, or the frog
No, never set the cat on fire
And mind your manners
As circumstances may require
And never set the cat on fire
Don’t open up the cabin hatch
The air is sure to leave it
And air is very hard to catch
You never will retrieve it
And even though your life’s a bore
Don’t open the reactor door
Don’t open up the cabin hatch
And mind your manners
As circumstances may require
And never set the cat on fire
Don’t change the navigator’s data
Someone’s sure to see ya
You know the captain’s view of that
A very bad idea
He doesn’t want his ship to race
Forever lost in endless space
Don’t change the navigator’s data
And mind your manners
As circumstances may require
And never set the cat on fire
Don’t start an interstellar war
It has no helpful uses
When someone asks you 'what's it for?'
You’ll only make excuses
If thirty trillion folks get hurt
You’ll go to bed with no dessert!
Don’t start an interstellar war
And mind your manners
As circumstances may require
And never set the cat on fire
Never set the cat on fire
You only will annoy it
The flames will make the beast perspire
It surely won’t enjoy it
Likewise do not ignite the dog
The snake, the gerbil, or the frog
No, never set the cat on fire
And mind your manners
As circumstances may require
And never set the cat on fire
And mind your manners
As circumstances may require
And never set the cat
Never set the cat on fire
Never set the cat on fire
