about
A cute lil ditty about nothing really, just loving people and animals.
This song has several versions. I first wrote and recorded it in 2009 for my very first RPM Challenge album (you can learn more at rpmchallenge.com, but in short, it's a website/group where you sign up and then challenge yourself to write and record an album in a month), using ukulele, bass guitar, and an MRT-3B drum machine. I later wrote a gameboy part for it, and re-recorded it for a short Valentine's Day compilation that was released by Nerdfit, and then remastered it later on for inclusion on my 2018 album "Shark Party". The structure has mostly stayed consistent, as well as the lyrics, but in this version I cut out a bit of it to make it tighter, and sang a bunch of "meows" at the end for funsies. The request to record an acoustic version was by my lovely friends, Rob and Kira, for their wedding. Thank you Rob and Kira!

lyrics
If we were little foxes
would you come over my den?
If we were piggies
would you play with me in my pen?
And if we were anteaters
I’d let you eat all of my ants
If we were old people
I’d help you put on your pants
And if we were racehorses
I’d always let you win
And if we were kitties
I’d give up one of my lives so you’d have ten
If we were kitties
I’d do that for you
If we were kitties
Yeah
And if we were puppies and you got hurt
I’d be there to lick your cuts
And if we were fireflies
our love would light up our butts
If we were kitties
Yeah yeah yea
If we were kitties
Yeah
Meow
would you come over my den?
If we were piggies
would you play with me in my pen?
And if we were anteaters
I’d let you eat all of my ants
If we were old people
I’d help you put on your pants
And if we were racehorses
I’d always let you win
And if we were kitties
I’d give up one of my lives so you’d have ten
If we were kitties
I’d do that for you
If we were kitties
Yeah
And if we were puppies and you got hurt
I’d be there to lick your cuts
And if we were fireflies
our love would light up our butts
If we were kitties
Yeah yeah yea
If we were kitties
Yeah
Meow
