Song Lyrics:

My cat is afraid of the vacuum cleaner The way it goes, "Vroom, vroom, vroom" Vroom, vroom, vroom Vroom, vroom, vroom My cat is afraid of the vacuum cleaner The way it goes "Vroom, vroom, vroom". And the way it makes calls in the middle of the night To shadowy men with underworld connections It's conversations sound innocent enough, But then, why is it whispering And saying things that are obviously codes Like, "Go to the laundry and pick up my shorts"? It's a vacuum cleaner, it doesn't wear shorts. But it does have a secret hidden room Full of instruments of torture from ancient times That were stolen from a little-known Idaho museum. And on the wall in the secret room Is a picture of actor Anthony Hopkins Taken from the movie "Silence of the Lambs", The one where he wears the scary mask. And next to the picture of Anthony Hopkins Is a picture of the vacuum cleaner In the same scary mask, but a smaller version. It's cute in a way, but in other ways no. And also on the walls are some scribbled words. Incoherent paranoid rants Written in a language called Vacuumese Derived from French and the operating manual Of a 1972 Electrolux. And what is written on those walls In the language known as Vacuumese Sends icy chills up my little cat's spine And makes it toss and turn at night. But the thing about the vacuum cleaner That scares my cat the very most, That makes it wake in a cold, cold sweat And haunts its days and haunts its nights And makes it jump at the slightest noise... Is the way it goes, "Vroom, vroom, vroom". Vroom, vroom, vroom Vroom, vroom, vroom Vroom, vroom, vroom (Sonic SBL)
