- My Four Cats Betsy Carter 3:47
My management company asked for a fun song for my program. My program addressed the love of Father God towards us and how we can do nothing to earn it, it is freely and unconditionally given. The Lord showed me that I could use my four cats as an example. I had a lot of fun writing this song, and always enjoy sharing it. The characterizations of my little friends are real! Each kitty with their own personality, each an individual, just like us. When I think of the lengths I would go to for my pets and realize that that is nothing compared to what Jesus will do in His love for me…well, this ain’t your usual story, ha!
LYRICS:
I wanna tell you a story
About four friends of mine
This ain’t your usual story
And my friends are the feline kind
My four cats, each one different
But each one special to me
Oh my four cats don’t do no struggling
They’re living free
Cool Cat, Cat Sayjack
Ol’ Smokey, and Itty Bitty Kitty
My four cats don’t have to do anything
To get my love from me
No, my four cats don’t do no struggling
They’re living free
They get up when they wanna
They’re groomed and they’re fed
They love on their owner then I
Tuck ‘em in the bed
Oh my four cats don’t have to do anything
To get my love from me
Cool Cat’s yellow and fat
He grunts when he walks and he’s
Liable to spat, oh
Cat Sayjack watches TV
She likes Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy
Oh, Ol’ Smokin’ Joe’s a fighter at best
But when strangers come in he’ll
Hide with the rest and
Little Itty Bitty’s nowhere to be seen
But her black tail’s peaking
‘Round the TV screen
Cool Cat, Cat Sayjack
Ol’ Smokey, and Itty Bitty Kitty
My four cats don’t have to do anything
To get my love from me
No my four cats don’t do no struggling
They’re living free
They don’t toil, no sweat
They don’t worry they know they’re pets
Oh my four cats don’t have to do anything
To get my love from me
I wanna tell you the moral
Behind this story of mine
You know Jesus spoke of the sparrow
And the lily dressed up so fine
And we’re much more important
And we don’t have to worry or fret
Because God’s love’s right there for us
Just like mine for my pets
So if you’re fat, or if you’re fiesty
A couch potato or scaredy like Itty
My four cats don’t have to do anything
To get my love from me
No my four cats don’t do no struggling
They’re living free
And we’re God’s children, better than pets
So if you get discouraged
Just remember my cats, oh
My four cats don’t have to do anything
To get my love from me, they just be;
Uhum they just be
They be my friends, they be my companions
They be living free
Just like we can be Christians
No sweat, Uhum no sweat
Cool Cat, Cat Sayjack
Ol’ Smokey and Itty Bitty Kitty
Oh my four cats don’t have to do anything
To get my love from me
They just be
