Here's the words to "Flat in Gay Paree" by Rita
Rita: (spoken)
Starlight, star bright, I wish I was anyplace but this..
Rita: (singing)
There is a Flat in Gay Paree, safe on a tree-lined avenue, no cats a la cart on the menu,
not in my Flat in Gay Paree.
There is a chef of fine cuisine, he is a vegetarian, as he prepares a fine banquet, he says "Rita, you're my beloved pet."
I know a flat where I can nap,
safe on a chair or in the lap,
I won't end up in a recipe,
not in my Flat in Gay Paree.

I'm Nobody's Mama, got no family.
I'm a career cat and my career is all about me.
No one can tie me down, I'm goin' places straighten up, don't make those silly, sad face, it's rude. All right, I'll get food.
But that's it, after that you're on your own.
I'm too independent, they're so small. Now could I care for them, do I care at all?
I could never stand "Help me, Mama, feed me, Mama, need me, Mama, don't leave me, Mama!" I'd never tolerate that.
On the other hand, "Oh, my Mama, I love you, Mama, I will never leave you, Mama."
No, you got the wrong cat!
And did I mention, they want too much attention?!
I worry about 'em each day every minute,
I gotta tell you my head isn't in it!
I won't let my heart talk cause it's ruled by my biological clock which is tickin' away!
No way, I mean what I say!
I'm single cat stray!
I'm Nobody's Mama!!!

Humans Ain't What They Seem To Be, they don't mean that much to me. No, not much at all.
When you're little and tiny, they pet your cute hiney, but then when you grow, it's a simple no-show, it's shoo-shoo off this and don't you dare scratch on that, if they call you at all, it's always "dumb cat"
Humans Ain't What They Seem To Be, they don't mean that much
to me. No, not much at all.
But when it's all dark and quiet, I try hard to fight it, but I dream of home where I don't have to roam!
Someone to feed me and put me to bed and scratch me just so on top of my head.
But I ain't gonna love 'em, not gonna answer their call
cause Humans don't mean that much to me,
No, not much at all.
