Cleopatra's Cat - Spin Doctors

Cleopatra’s favorite cat

Got his hands on Caesar’s spats

The heat was on as you could see

So he front 'em to Mark Antony

Said, «My girlfriend’s cat is smarter than me.»

Caesar had an eye for clothes

He saw them spats and said, «I like those.»

Caesar had no thing to say, except

«Jesu Christi Domine

Et tu, Brute

Jesu Christi Domine

Et tu, Brute.»

The senate tried to sympathize

It was the cat they should despise

Informant told his whereabouts

Centurions to seek him out

Centurions!

There go the centurions

Brutus had to turn his head

When THIS cat done went and said

«If he’s got this thing for shoes

He just might be ambitious, too

They got holidays all in his name

And all a tyrant needs is fame

Those fascists don’t play pretty games

Egypt is the place to be…

But Rome is a democracy

Rome!»

Caesar never got them back

'Cause they killed his ass in the second act

Brutus spoke, then Antony:

Said, «My girlfriend’s cat is smarter than me

Friends, Romans, can’t you see

My girlfriend’s cat is smarter than me

Egypt’s biggest rivalry:

Cleopatra’s cat and me.»
