The Money Cat Lyrics by Paul Frees

Gay Purr-ee (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1962

[Meowrice]
When preacher can’t preach you
And teacher can’t teach you
When angels can’t reach you
[Henchcats]
The money cat can
[Meowrice]
We give social status
To countrified tomatoes
[Henchcats]
If you want kicks
And class and clothes
Money cat knows where the money tree grows
[Meowrice]
Beauticians will sleek you
[Henchcats]
Fashion cats chic you
Aristocrats seek you
Man
Man
Man
Man
Man
Man
[Meowrice]
And should that dream of glory
Be part of your plan
[Henchcats]
If anyone can help you
The money cat can
[Bass Henchcat]
Money cat knows where the money tree grows
[Henchcats]
Mingle with the right folk
Meet the bottle poppers
Rub elbow with the elite
And the big name-droppers
If you got your heart set
On moochin’ with the smart set
[Meowrice]
Money cat knows
Where the money tree grows
[Henchcats]
Get your picture painted
On the magazine cover
You can have a palace
With the world your lover
Money cat can buy up
Anyone who’s high up
[All]
We’ve got dicks and politics and law
In the palm of our paw
The gendarmes may nail you
The lawyers may bail you
The judges may jail you
Man
[Meowrice]
So why be a flopola
With egg on your pan
[Henchcats]
If anyone can sell you
The money cat can
[Meowrice]
Meow .....
(laughs)
