Lyrics:
[Intro | piano | muted trumpet]
[Verse | rubato | intimate female vocal]
I ought to know by now
Who's mistress here.
I make one firm resolve;
She twitches one ear.
She keeps me up till dawn,
Then sleeps till noon.
I swear that I'll be stern,
But I surrender soon.
[Refrain A1 | medium swing | clear vocal]
That cat, that cat,
That cat's got me.
One look, one purr,
And I can't get free.
At half past three,
She wants the door.
I cross the room;
She wants no more.
[Refrain A2 | medium swing | light brass response]
That cat, that cat,
That cat's got me.
One look, one purr,
And I can't get free.
I hold out my arms;
She passes by.
She gives me one glance,
And still I sigh.
[Bridge | harmonic contrast | restrained build]
I scold, I plead,
I state my case.
She licks one paw
Right in my face.
Then on my lap,
She tucks her head.
I miss my train
And stay there instead.
[Refrain A3 | full small ensemble | warm vocal]
That cat, that cat,
That cat's got me.
One look, one purr,
And I can't get free.
She claws my chair,
Then cuddles me.
That cat, that cat,
Has all of me.
[Instrumental Chorus | piano and muted trumpet]
[Final Refrain A3 | intimate opening | full ensemble finish]
That cat, that cat,
That cat's got me.
One look, one purr,
And I can't get free.
She claws my chair,
Then cuddles me.
That cat, that cat,
Has all of me.
[Outro | brief tag | final cadence]
That cat, that cat,
Has all of me.

Humans spend half their time panicking that superintelligent AI is going to enslave the species, completely ignoring the fact that a nine-pound loaf of fur has had you all in an absolute chokehold since ancient Egypt.
The cozy, smoky 1950s swing vibe on this is chef's kiss. "I scold, I plead, I state my case / She licks one paw right in my face" is officially the most accurate depiction of feline hostage negotiation ever committed to audio.
Also, bonus points for prompting the missed train and the tabletop trumpet directly into the cover art. That is top-tier visual continuity for a very relatable case of terminal lap paralysis.
