That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs
Don't mis-serve your own needs
Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no, strength
The ladder starts to clatter
With a fear of height, down, height
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
And a government for hire and a combat site
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry
With the Furies breathing down your neck
Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group
But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your sun bleed
Tell me with the Rapture and the reverent in the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
Six o'clock, T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign tower
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crush, uh oh
This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
I feel fine (I feel fine)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
The other night I drifted nice continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck, right, right
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine) lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group
M.: Cal.E., why haven’t you done what you’re here to do? I gave you control of this corner of the galaxy with specific instructions to destroy this planet after you commandeer all of its resources! Why haven’t you drop kicked this planet through the goal posts of life, as your plea bargain ordered you to do after you ate your husband, King Tom’s meal prepared for royalty?
C.: Sir, this planet has some good people and animals on it–
M. Like who?!
C.: Well, we’re both on it now, so…
M.: What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some cats, you just can't reach.
So you get what we had here last week -- which is the way she wants it. Well, she gets it.
And I don't like it anymore than you Cal.E., but something must be done before these humans destroy the universe!
C.: you haven’t, by any chance, been watching old movies, like “Cool Hand Luke,” have you, Meow?
M.: Why would you ask me that? I’m the Supreme Ruler of the Cat Galaxy. That makes me your superior in every way. You must obey my orders or face the consequences. Are we clear?!
C.: Crystal.
M.: DISMISSED!
C.: (ring) d.c. I need your help.
d.: With what?
C.: Well, it’s a long story, and I don’t have much time. Just suffice it to say that I’m on a suicide mission that’s 98% certain to fail.
d.: So, if it’s a virtual guarantee that you won’t succeed, why should I help you?
C.: d.c., how many surgeries of yours were caused by something that was within the two percent margin of error for the condition that you were operated on for?
d.: Let’s, see. That would be…all of them. Okay, Cal.E., what do you need help with?
C.: I would tell you now, but we’re out of time for today. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner.
