They knew when they met they were not quite the same
They cursed Mother Nature and gave her the blame,
But a love burned within
The expanse of their skin
And they vowed they could win,
Overcoming all that ....
Though he, yes, he was a dog, you see
And she was a fluffy cat.

So he tried to learn how to purr
And she tried to learn how to bark
And she tried to learn how to bury a bone
While he tried to see in the dark
And their method of mating
Was SO devastating
Forever creating
An unending spat .... -
For he, yes, he was a dog, you see
And she was a fluffy cat.

There are rules, it is known, that are written
By the movement of Destiny's pen,
That apply to all puppies and kittens
As well as some women and men,
And, ignoring these laws
Bring out dangerous flaws,
Often fatal because
It's an unbending fact ......

That an eagle can't swim
And a whale can't fly
And we can't change our natures,
As hard as we try,
A dog is a dog and a cat is a cat .....
And that's all there is to that.
