- Well he's a fat cat, a cool cat, nobody's fool cat,
- Well look out, 'cause here comes Garfield!
- He never keeps fit, he's too hip! He likes his catnip,
- Well look out, 'cause here comes Garfield!
- He's always got to be one-up on ya,
- and he'll beat you to the punch everytiiiime!
- He'll give up anything for lasagna, unless he has to give up on his naptime!
- Well he's a neat cat, a fun cat, Mister "number-one" cat,
- he knows what life is all abooout!
- Here comes Garfield! Look out, here comes Garfiiiiiield!
- Look out, I said, here comes Garf-i-eld, so you better look out!
- You better watch out for Garfield,
- You never know what he's got up his sleeve,
- So when he acts real purry, and friendly and furry
- Better count what's on your table before he leaves!
- He's a neat cat, a fun cat, Mister "number-one" cat,
- he knows what life is all about!
- Here comes Garfield, look out!
- Here comes Garfield, look out!
- I said here comes Garfield, so you better watch out!
- Here comes Garfield, you better look out!
