(Note: I wrote this song about a good friend's cat.)

Intro:
She reads to me some philosophy about coasting
An expert on this topic, now I'm boasting
For it's a real art
To idle through each day
Putting smiles on all who chance to pass my furry way

Chorus:
I'm Toby the wonder cat
And coasting through life is where it's at
Yes, I'm contented with that
Cause I'm Toby the wonder cat

Verse 1:
She thinks that she's my master
She really is my slave
She busts her butt to give me
All that I might crave
When she disappears for days
It doesn't bother me
As long as there's food in my dish
It's sleep and fantasy

(Repeat chorus)

Verse 2:
This coasting thing is purr-fect
From my point of view
All lovey hugs and tummy rubs
With occasional catnip, too
And when she fondles that six string beast
Her mew-sic can't be beat
She whines and howls such pleasant meows
Like a puss who's sweet in heat

(Repeat chorus)

Bridge:
No worries about the mortgage, water, or electric bills
I sleep in cool dry comfort and always eat my fill
I'm the center of attention of all who come to call
As I stalk that elusive phantom mouse that's hiding in the hall

(Repeat chorus)
