lyrics

Boxing Day Eve and falling night
All is calm and all is bright
Curled up by the fireplace and everything's right by me

It's just you and me now, no-one else is around
And you know I want you, I'm the warmest cat in town
Mmm you're the leftover turkey that they foolishly left out
It was too easy

Now all their frantic frittering for food and gifts has ended
All their family feuding has scattered them and faded
It's just me, the VIC, anything I want included
On the night before Boxing Day

So I'll do as I please, no-one tells me what to eat
I'll llick all the snack foods and snaffle all the meat
And sink my claws into every arm of their three-piece suite
It sure feels good

Now mummy's too tired, she's hit the sack early
Daddy's too drunk to even notice what I'm up to
And the children, so transfixed by toys they've left the boxes empty
On the night before Boxing Day yeah

Well it's easy to see why Boxing Day's so called
For every gift opened leaves a palace of cardboard
And they get so excited about the day before
But look to the future now, it's only just begun!

So much food leftover mummy feeds me like a king
Daddy's so hungover I can snooze on top of him
And the children leave their greatest gifts for me to fidget in
I just can't wait until Boxing Day yeah!
On the night before Boxing Day yeah!
La la la la...
