A Tiger's Work is Never Done

Lyrics
Intro
(Fast, bouncy banjo plucking and a comedic slide whistle)
Well, the morning sun is rising, and my claws are looking sharp!
Verse 1
I’m a mighty striped beast, waking from my morning nap
Got a schedule so demanding, it’s a tiger-sized trap!
First things first, I see a cardboard square upon the floor
It’s five sizes too small, but I'm squeezing through the door!
(Pluck-pluck-pluck!)
If I fits, I sits, that’s the law of the wild
Looking like a jungle king, but acting like a child!
Chorus
Oh, it’s a full-time job, keeping humans on their toes!
Testing out the gravity, and everywhere it goes!
Got a mug upon the counter? Watch it tumble, watch it fall!
I’m the ruler of the living room, the master of it all!
(Yee-haw! Fast banjo roll!)
Verse 2
Now the human’s brewing coffee, setting down his favorite cup
I swagger down the counter, just to mess the morning up.
Give a little bitty swat, send it crashing to the ground
Ain't no better music than that satisfying sound!
He shouts "Hey!", I just yawn and walk away
Just another standard Tuesday in my busy working day!
Chorus
Oh, it’s a full-time job, keeping humans on their toes!
Testing out the gravity, and everywhere it goes!
Got a mug upon the counter? Watch it tumble, watch it fall!
I’m the ruler of the living room, the master of it all!
Bridge
Now the human's trying to work, opens up the silver screen
It’s the warmest little glowing bed that I have ever seen!
He is typing out an email, but I plop down on the keys
Sending "asdfghjkl" to the boss, if you please!
He says "Move!", I just stretch and close my eyes
I'm a heavy, furry paperweight in cleverest disguise!
Verse 3
Now the house is getting drafty, and the human's turning blue
"Hug the fireplace!" he mutters, "Get out of it, I'm freezing too!"
But I’m hogging all the heat, roasting up my stripy hide
Sitting right in front the flames with so much stubborn pride.
He can shiver in the corner while I soak up all the rays
Just another perfect morning in my full and busy days!
Banjo Solo
(Wild, fast-paced dueling banjos with a rhythmic foot stomp and upbeat claps)
Outro
Yeah, a box to sit, a mug to hit, a laptop for a bed!
If the human wants some warmth, he can use a coat instead!
(Banjo slide slows down, followed by a final, loud crash of a falling mug)
Yup... full days!
