They said it was OK
To show off my fur
I let them pet it
Silky, glossy, soft
They said it was OK
To open my eyes
So they darted about
Glinting with curiosity
They said it was OK
To show them my teeth
A great big smile
Harmless and happy
They said it was OK
To feel safe there
So I showed my belly
For them to pet
They said it was OK
To not be convenient
So, for the first time I sang,
And they recoiled, for it was scary disgusting unpleasant
And it wasn't OK
They say I did nothing wrong, but...
I think I'll sing in the dark
Where you have to find me to hear
