The Ballad of Famous & Harper |
| This is the ballad of Famous & Harper |
| Harper & Famous, a couple of cats |
| Both in Ohio, came east in a Volvo |
| Live on Long Island, well how about that? |
| Famous was feisty and Harper was timid |
| But Harper was brilliant and Famous was dumb |
| Famous was black and white, Harper was orange |
| And both ran away when you told them to come |
| Harper & Famous and Famous & Harper |
| Lived in a basement, a couple of cats |
| With a washer and dryer and wood for the fire |
| They kept themselves clean and the place free of rats |
| Famous was quite a bit fatter than Harper |
| Since he was the first one to get through the food |
| He liked to be picked up and held like a baby |
| While Harper was often standoffish and rude |
| Down the basement there was a passage |
| It was a secret the kitties just knew |
| It went from the laundry into a bedroom |
| There lived their young mistress the Lovely Lulu |
| Harper & Famous and Famous & Harper |
| They lived in a basement, a couple of cats |
| With a washer and dryer and wood for the fire |
| They kept themselves clean and the place free of rats |
| One sad day Lulu drove off in her Volvo |
| And back to Ohio without the cats |
| Famous kept eating and Harper stayed timid |
| Lulu had left them and that was just that |
| That was the ballad of Famous & Harper |
| Harper & Famous, a couple of cats |
| Both in Ohio, came east in a Volvo |
| Live on Long Island, well how about that? |
