about

Originally appeared on the English/Drake Single

lyrics

I'm teaching my cats to speak English
Coz that's the language I prefer
They don't take to it too well
But they're trying

I'm teaching my cats to speak English
So they'll understand what I say
Instead of staring blankly at me
We'll have a conversation

And they'll tell me everything they think about
And I will tell them things they need to know
They won't keep looking at my finger when I point
And say, "Hey! Look at that bird outside the window!"

I'm teaching my cats to speak English
For the full effect of TV
We'll sit together laughing loudly
Nightly

I'm teaching my cats to speak English
We'll be just like a real family
Next on the list is learning to swim
Oh Lord help me....

about

The Marble Tea Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Drawing mandalas and watching Captain Kangaroo...that's pretty much what it's like in here. I enjoy writing songs about my cats and cartoon insects, but I'm also fond of feeling up the tentacles that lead to the oneness of existence. That's the Marble Tea experience.

Recommended for fans of Jonathan Richman, Robyn Hitchcock, Jazz Butcher, Magnetic Fields, etc.
