| Facts: |
| "Frank Hayes Disease" - frequently used among filkers to describe the tendency to forget the tune or lyrics of what you are performing while you're performing it — even though you wrote the song. This is a golden example. Shortly after starting the song, he gets as far as "Don't", then forgets the verse. (Stavro Arrgolus) |

| Song Lyrics: |
Never set the cat on fire; you only will annoy it
The heat will make the beast perspire; she surely won't enjoy it
Likewise do not ignite the dog
The snake, the gerbil, or the frog
No, never set the cat on fire
And mind your manners, as circumstances may require
And never set the cat on fire
(Don't...don't. Just don't.)
Don't open up the cabin hatch; the air is sure to leave it
And air is very hard to catch; you never will retrieve it
And though you think your life's a bore,
Don't open the reactor door
Don't open up the cabin hatch
And mind your manners, as circumstances may require
And never set the cat on fire
Don't change the navigator's data; someone's sure to see ya
You know the captain's view of that: a very bad idea
He doesn't want his ship to race
Forever lost in endless space
Don't change the navigator's data
And mind your manners, as circumstances may require
And never set the cat on fire
Don't start an interstellar war; it has no helpful uses
As people ask you 'what's it for?', you'll only make excuses
If thirty trillion folks get hurt,
You'll go to bed with no dessert!
Don't start an interstellar war
And mind your manners, as circumstances may require
And never set the cat on fire
And mind your manners, as circumstances may require...(big finish now)
And never set the cat on fire! (ChrisWolvie) |
