Lyrics[]
Garfield[]
- So a new day's slowly dawning,
- Please forgive this cat for yawning,
- I see that it's half past seven,
- I think I'll go back to bed until eleven,
- But the puppy makes me cautious,
- And our houseguest makes me nauseous,
- I would sleep but I'm unable,
- Might as well see if my breakfast's on the table,
- Where's my meal? I am starving,
- Start the cooking. Start the carving,
- I eat breakfast as a habit,
- This is quite a lovely meal for a rabbit,
- Make an omelet. Make a waffle,
- Though you're cooking's really awful,
- Make me pancakes. Make me bacon,
- If you think that I will eat this, you're mistaken.

- You're too fat! I can't keep quiet!,
- You're too fat! It's time to diet!,
- I insist! You will not have a feast,
- Until you lose ten pounds at least.
- No more food! Forgive me if I'm sounding rude,
- But you will have to lose some weight!,
- You get no more to eat!,
- Until you look and see your feet!
Garfield[]
- Hiya Odie! Whatcha doing?,
- How's that bone that you are chewing?,
- There's a rumbling in my tummy,
- And that bone of yours is looking pretty yummy.
Nermal[]
- I am Nermal! I'm a cutie!,
- I'm the peak of feline beauty!,
- Folks adore me! If they met me!,
- They will line up for a mile just to pet me!,
Garfield[]
- Sorry, Nermal. Not this morning,
- You have had your final warning,
- I have taken up a hobby,
- Mailing kittens all the way to Abu Dhabi,
- Un momento. Who's that person?,
- Why it's Mrs. Ann McPherson,
- She's the chairman, undefeated,
- Of a group that makes sure pets are not mistreated,
Mrs. Ann McPherson[]
- You poor cat! I heard you squeal!,
- You poor cat! You need a meal!,
- It appears your master doesn't give,
- You all the things you need to live,
- Feed this cat! You know this is a real threat!,
- If you don't I will call the cops!,
- And they will send some cars,
- Of men to put you behind bars.
Jon Arbuckle[]
- Eat! Have a bowl of shredded wheat!
- Add some sugar, make it sweet!
- For a treat! It's so neat when you add fruit or berries!
- Eat! Dieting is obsolete!
- Have another piece of meat!
- Can't be beat, though you cannot see your feet!
- There is nothing in this world like eating all that's edible!
- Have some ice cream, lightly swirled, it's really just incredible!
- Eat each pie and roll and tart, and do not count a calorie!
- Eating is the finest art, you should be in a gallery!
- Chew! Chew! Chew!
- Yes you just stuff yourself until your little tummy aches!
- Bite! Bite! Bite! Bite! All night! Eat sandwiches that your weary kitchen master makes!
- And cakes! And steaks! And flakes! And lakes of shakes, land sakes!
- Munch! Have another glass of punch!
- Eat bananas by the bunch, I've a hunch...
- That you're planning something good for dinner!
- Munch! Hear that meal going crunch!
- Think your chair is gonna scrunch!
- What a brunch! This should hold you until lunch!
- You know you love to dine on each find kind of food you can find!
- You put it all away although as you well know it all winds up behind!
- Do not let your fork stop! Have another pork chop!
