Song idea: "$3 Free Cats"

"$3 Free Cats"

[Note: I'm thinking electric blues feel...]

I'm driving home from the office today
I pass a vet's office on my way
Out in front, there's a sign in the yard
As the light changes, I study it hard

It says,"Free Cats. Inquire within."
Then there's $3 tacked on the end.
I read it twice before the light turns green.
You gotta pay $3 to join the free cat scene.

I get on home and I ask my wife
If she'd heard of free cats that cost $3 to buy
She said she'd always thought that free meant free
That's the way life's supposed to be.
I said maybe so but it ain't no more
You gotta pay $3 if you expect to score.

Free Cats. Inquire within.
But you gotta have money if you expect to get in.
$3 free cats is what we sell
If you don't have $3 you can go to... well,

I decided to pass on the free cat deal
I've got my $3 but it's how I feel.
If something is free, you shouldn't have to spend
That's the message that I want to send.
I'm happy living in my cat-free zone
With no free cats invading my home.

        Free Cats. Inquire within.
But you gotta have money if you expect to get in.
$3 free cats is what we got
The sign is still there so they must have a lot.
