lyrics

Listen, Mittens!
I've got a ton of money
On which goose is gonna lay a ton
Which one they're gonna cook
And which one watches all the fun
I can shout commands and make demands
Take my carpet by the hand
Flying will be easy
But we'll have to land

I'm loved by everybody
My coat is soft and full
And I'm playing with the cat
My neck gives me a sudden pull
My best friend's out the door and down the street
The rescue wasn't quite complete
I'm feeling kinda nervous
And I'd like to eat

Don't worry about me
I'm already free
Free as candy...
The worst that could happen
The bark of a tree
Brought to its knees...

Until the blanket's pulled up to the chins of everyone in town,
We're not sleeping when we're at home safe and sound
And as I float above the center of the sleeping sea
I wish that someone from somewhere was singing this to me

Until the blanket's pulled up to the chins of everyone in town,
We're not sleeping when we're at home safe and sound
And as I float above the center of the sleeping sea
I wish that someone from somewhere was singing this to me

Carry me away from all this subtle "hostile'tality"
Give me a carpet soft and wide and free
I guess I'll notice when all the water comes up to the roof
They'll be a puddle forming all around inside of me
But I can't see the florist for the bees
And you can't pass the carrots without "please"

I thought they feared us
But we feared them the most
We're peppered, they're scrambled
We're toast!
Our spirits floated
Left their earthly host
Blown around by splashing winds emitted from the coast

Was I in an accident
Do I have any broken bones
Did someone call my mom
Is there someone or am I alone
Was it a dentist that I hit
I've asked you this before
Probably asked you this all night...

But was I in an accident
Do I have any broken bones
Did someone call my mom
Is there someone or am I alone
Was it a dentist that I hit
I've asked you this before
Probably asked you this all night
I won't ask anymore
I'm sorry I'm such a bore
I'll just show me to the door...
