Joy to the world - the kitties rule
Let dogs howl their dismay
We'll hiss and swipe their noses
Then rub our human's toes-es
And shed all over the house
And shed all over the house
And shed, and shed all over the house


Joy to the world - the kittens say
Let all the huamns sing
They think we're all so cute
But we will rule this roost
And we will climb that tree
That you just brought it in for me
And hung all that shiny stuff
For us to see


Joy to the world - the felines reign
Let men and women bow!
We'll take their adoration
And occasionally show affection
But stratch when we've had enough,
Yes, we'll scratch when we've had enough
Though they like to think they rule
We'll always call their bluff!

Joy to the world - the cat is king
All creatures now shall fear!
Our antics might amuse you
But our powers will abuse you
And make you buy better treats
Or we'll sulk and pout by your feets
But we will rule this household
The cat is king!

Joy to the world - all cats know how
To drive their humans nuts!
We'll shatter the best ornaments
Blame the dog, and hide in the basement
And when you yell, we'll look cute
Bat our lashes, play with your boots
And hope you'll forget and give us
Our Christmas loot!
