C. d.c. is back from Austin, so here's today's blogpost
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
Ever since I was a tiny boy
I don't want no candy, I don't need no toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing 'til I got blisters on my hand
Because
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (yes, I do)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (that's right)
When I get older they think I'm a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks was so hot
I made the teacher wanna dance
And that's why
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (hey, why not?)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (listen to this)
Every day when I get home from work
I feel so frustrated, the boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And I pound on that drum like it was the boss's head, because I...
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (hey, hey)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (I can bang that drum)
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (hey, you wanna take a bang at it?)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (I can do this all day)
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day

C.: T., why did you agree to help my mom and dad’s friend for a stringed instrument that can only play one note?
T.: ??? Oh, she didn’t mean a C bass, she meant sea bass, as in fish dinners for the rest of our lives, and whenever we feel like eating. I think it’s a good deal. I mean, how many rodents could there be?
C.: Where are you going, T.? Are you chicken?
T.: No, Cal.E. This many mice calls for many cats.
C.: So, where are you going to get those?
T.: Well, Tom the Tabby’s cartel has about one hundred mice, and there are plenty of mice for each of them, as well as us once we al go down into the hull of the ship to keep the rodents from chewing a hole through the bottom of Yetta's ship.
C.: Yes, dear, but you’re still on parole. Part of your deal to get out of The Kennel was to never associate with the Triple T Cartel ever again, and they’re not very good workers. They just want to eat catnip and bang on their bongos all day. We need another plan.
T.: There is no other plan, Cal.E. Where else are we going to get that many cats in a short period?
C.: I guess your right, but please let me go recruit the cats to eat the A. I. rats. That way, you won’t get in trouble with animal control.
T.: So, you’re volunteering to go to your arch enemy and recruit rat catching felines so that I won’t get in trouble with animal control? You really do love me, don’t you?
C.: Of course, T. However, we’ll need to devise a way for you and the Triple T Cartel never to be in the same place at the same time.
T.: This is a big boat, so we should be okay, as long as there are no animal control officers on board and I doubt that any of them could afford to travel on Yetta Näther Cruise Lines on their salaries. I should be safe.
Meanwhile
Yetta: ( I think I’ll call animal control. I have a lot of A. I. rats for two cats to handle. Maybe, if I offer the officer a free cruise, he’ll bring all the cats in The Kennel aboard and they can take care of my A. I. rodent problem.)
d.: Tune in tomorrow, folks, and find out if T stands a chance of staying out of The Kennel for the forty-seventh time; and if Horace and Hortense will join the animal control officer for yet another cruise on Yetta Näther Cruise Line.
