A cat in a backpack

Oh,  who  is  that  man,
Who  that  man  is
With  a  cat  in  his  backpack,
With  big-eyed  black  one
Meowing  right  behind.

The  man  is  strong
The  man  is  sure  of  what  he  does,
Oh  does  he  realise
The  cat  has  his  own  eyes.

Those  eyes  excited,
Those  ones  are  frightened
It  is  afraid  of  wide  wide  world
Of  wide  full  moon,
A  scratching  cat  inside  the  bag,
A  scratching  cat  of  strong  man's  soul,

He's  weak.

He  walks  so  straight,
He  won't  look  back,
Oh  who's  that  man
He  has  a  backpack  with  a  cat,
He  whispers  in  the  night,
Oh  does  he  realise  the  cat's  eyes  are  his  own.
