- Not to be confused with the episode The Garfield Rap or the song of the same name.
The Garfield and Friends rap is the third theme song of Garfield and Friends. It was written and performed by J.R. Johnston and Neil Panton.
The theme was only used during the seventh season of the show's run on CBS. It was not included on the 20th Century Fox DVD releases or the remastered version of Garfield and Friends, with the former using the international prints of the show.
Lyrics[]
Vocals[]
- He's fat and he's lazy,
- He sleeps and he's so crazy,
- He's funky, he's groovy,
- He's grumpy, he's moody,
- He's my main cat Garfield...,
Garfield[]
- That's me!
Vocals[]
- The fuzzy little ears on the top of his head,
- Eyelids hangin' down like he just got out of bed,
- A bustin' dialect, he's a cat and I know that,
- A-groovin' with the sounds he can really get down,
- Staying with Odie spells disaster,
- But Garfield's the cat and remains the master,
- Double rabble babble, he's a cat and I know that,
- But stickin' with the facts, he can take you on back,
- He's so fat, he's so fat, and he loves the lasagna,
- Eatin' it whole with a bit of parmigiana...
- Garfield and Friends,
- Here they come, here they come, here they come!
