Hüsker Dü - How to Skin a Cat Lyrics

We are starting a cat ranch in Lacon with 100,000 cats

Each cat will average 12 kittens a year

The cat skins will sell for 30 cents each

One hundred men can skin 5,000 cats a day

We figure a daily net profit of over $10,000

Now what shall we feed the cats?

We will start a rat ranch next door with 1,000,000 rats

The rats will breed 12 times faster than the cats

So we will have four rats to feed each day to each cat

Now what shall we feed the rats?

We will feed the rats the carcasses of the cats

After they have been skinned

Now get this, we feed the rats to the cats

And the cats to the rats and get the cat skins for nothing

We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats

And get the cat skins for nothing

We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats

And get the cat skins for nothing

We feed the rats the carcasses of the cats

After they have been skinned

Now get this, we feed the rats to the cats

And the cats to the rats and get the cat skins for nothing

We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats

And get the cat skins for nothing
