Cat and Samosas

Lyrics

[Verse 1] One day, a cat in a coat Went out to sell clothes Proud little tail in the air Big dreams, soft paws, old roads Then thirst hit hard So it ran for some water Just a quick little break Just a sip, then back to the harbor [Pre-Chorus] But trouble was waiting there With a mean little grin Two naughty men struck a spark And the flames ran in [Chorus] Oh, poor cat, poor cat What a cruel surprise Poor cat, poor cat Tears in its eyes They laughed so loud But the cat stood up Poor cat, poor cat Then it changed its luck [Verse 2] Back home, it wiped its face And tied that apron tight Changed the plan, changed the lane Worked all day through the night It rolled up dough by hand Filled it with spice and care Folded each little corner Like a secret prayer [Pre-Chorus] Then came the market crowd With their coins and smiles One smell from the basket And they lined up for miles [Chorus] Oh, poor cat, poor cat What a cruel surprise Poor cat, poor cat Tears in its eyes They laughed so loud But the cat stood up Poor cat, poor cat Then it changed its luck [Bridge] Golden and hot in the sun Stacked up in paper bags Every sale felt like a drum Every bite made a flag And the bad day faded out Like smoke in the air From a broken little dream To a business built with care [Final Chorus] Oh, poor cat, poor cat What a cruel surprise Poor cat, poor cat Tears in its eyes Now the crowd comes back For that spicy love Poor cat, poor cat Turned pain to gold above [Outro] Later the cat took the money Counting every bright note From burned-up clothes to samosas It learned how hope grows
