[Verse 1]
Sun come up
you still snorin', deep
I’m in the hallway
with a plastic sweep
Little king of the sofa
got demands to meet
tiny paws on my ankle
like “get on your feet”
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t pay rent
you don’t pay the bills
But you make a mountain
out of these little hills
I hold my breath
you just blink and stare
tail up high
like you own the air
[Chorus]
Shake the litter, shake, shake the litter (hey!)
scoop it up and sing my song
You make the mess, I’m your babysitter
but I still dance while I play along
Shake the litter, shake, shake the litter
bag it up and carry on
You’re the boss, I’m the cat-sitter
cleaning your throne till the funk is gone (woah)
[Verse 2]
You scratch the floor
when it’s time to go
then you kick that gravel
like a desert show
Tiny tornado
spinning dust in the light
I’m in old pajamas
you’re in party night
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t wash plates
you don’t wash clothes
But you leave treasures
for my tired nose
I light a match
you just start to purr
like “good human,
that’s what you’re for”
[Chorus]
Shake the litter, shake, shake the litter (hey!)
scoop it up and sing my song
You make the mess, I’m your babysitter
but I still dance while I play along
Shake the litter, shake, shake the litter
bag it up and carry on
You’re the boss, I’m the cat-sitter
cleaning your throne till the funk is gone
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to drum, bass, claps]
Who run the house? (you do, you do)
Who leave the piles? (you do, you do)
Who wear the gloves? (I do, I do)
still shaking, still making
this a cleaning groove
[Chorus]
Shake the litter, shake, shake the litter (hey!)
scoop it up and sing my song
You make the mess, I’m your babysitter
but I still dance while I play along
Shake the litter, shake, shake the litter
one more time and then I’m done
You’re the boss, I’m the cat-sitter
dirty little prince of the rising sun
