about

I have a tattoo. Of a cat with a bass clef for a tail. I wrote a song about it. Kind of an 80s hip hop diss track, only it's the 1880s, with a ukulele.

lyrics

You and I, we get on pretty well,
Ride or die, we'll always give 'em hell
On the question of ranking our relative shine
There's one thing that carries me to the head of the line!

The thing that makes me better than you
is that I have a bass-clef cat tattoo!
Topping that is something you'll never ever do,
Nobody beats the bass-clef cat tattoo!

Your voice may be sweet as a choir of angels
when you tread the boards, there are no better portrayals
your needlecraft garners exquisite appraisals
But are you inked with a cat with a clef for a tail?

The thing that makes me cooler than you
is that I have a bass-clef cat tattoo!
Topping that is something that I bet you can't do,
Nobody beats the bass-clef cat tattoo!

In dancing you move with a delicate grace
Your manner of manner of dressing shows elegant taste
In the kitchen, no question, you grill excellent steaks
Yet my primacy's plain as the nose on your face!

The thing that makes me cooler than you
is that I have a bass-clef cat tattoo!
Topping that is something that I bet you can't do,
Nobody beats the bass-clef cat tattoo!


You're genius at carrying deep conversation
Always quick of wit with a barb or quotation
You can express any number in scientific notation
but that can't beat my musical feline ornamentation!

The thing that makes me cooler than you
is that I have a bass-clef cat tattoo!
Topping that is something that I bet you can't do,
Nobody beats the bass-clef cat tattoo!

The thing that makes me cooler than you
is that I have a bass-clef cat tattoo!
Topping that is something that I bet you can't do,
Nobody beats the bass-clef cat tattoo!
