Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're a bad cat man
You're a bad cat man yes you are
You're a bad cat man
You're so bad I hope you die

You are so bad (x3)
I hate you so much I hope you die

You're a bad cat man
How did you get out of your cage?
You're a bad cat man
I'm gonna punch you in the face

We have rules that I hope you follow,
If you don't I'll cut you up
I have friends that have fur and fangs yeah,
They'll bite of your ugly head

Now, this battle is a storm, absorbing flames of butterflies, I make your flesh warm.

The birds will sing the dirge now of absolute defeat.
The second evil cat has fallen, dogs consume their meat
