Orange Cats
Composer(s): Norm Hacking
Performer(s): Norm Hacking & Kirk Elliott



Best friends can come in lots of shapes and sizes
That's why they're always such wonderful surprises
Mine has four legs and a lot of orange fur
He tells me life is great with the world's loudest purr

His name is Syd and when his owner moved away
He came a-knocking at my door one day
He said "I sure need a home, oh, won't you let me in?
'Cause orange cats make the very best friends"

Well, they're not in it for the food, not in it for the money
Just give their chin a scratch, let them sleep where it's sunny
You don't need a turtle or a gerbil or a bunny
'Cause orange cats make the very best friends

It's been nearly 20 years since he came to stay
He's been my best friend in so many ways
From a handsome young mouser to a wise old man
Syd, the orange cat, he's been my very best friend

Well, they're not in it for the food, not in it for the money
Just give their chin a scratch, let them sleep where it's sunny
You don't need a turtle or a gerbil or a bunny
'Cause orange cats make the very best friends

Well, they're not in it for the food, not in it for the money
Just give their chin a scratch, let them sleep where it's sunny
You don't need a turtle or a gerbil or a bunny
'Cause orange cats make the very best friends
