lyrics

Cat and Piggy
by Carrie Ferguson

Cat and a piggy were sitting in a boat
Cat said “Piggy, where we gonna go?”
Pig said “Kitty, only one way to know:
Gotta pick up those oars and row, row
Pick up those oars and row”

Dog and a rooster standing in the yard
Rooster said “Dog, I wanna be a star”
Dog turned to the rooster and he laughed real hard
Said “Just be who you are, are, just be who you are”

And if you get to the river and the bridge is down
Or you come to a mountain and there’s no way around
You’re gonna find a new way to figure it out
That’s what its all about, ‘bout,
That’s what it’s all about

Squirrel and a chipmunk were sitting in a tree
Squirrel said “Chippy, it’s plain to see
This world was made for you and me
And we were born to be free, free
We were born to be free”

Crow and a blue jay swingin’ through the sky
Crow said “Jay, some day were gonna die”
Jay said “Crow, that aint no lie
So we might as well just fly, fly
We might as well just fly.

And if you get to the river and the bridge is down
Or you come to a mountain and there’s no way around
You’re gonna find a new way to figure it out
That’s what its all about, ‘bout, that’s what it’s all about

And if you get to the river and the bridge is down
Or you come to a mountain and there’s no way around
You’re gonna find a new way to figure it out
That’s what its all about, ‘bout, that’s what it’s all about

about

Carrie Ferguson Northampton, Massachusetts

Carrie grew up playing an enormous upright, chocolate-brown piano. It had a darkly booming, slightly furry quality to it, like the weather in her hometown of Arcata on the North Coast of California. Ferguson credits its sonorous voice, combined with the perpetual fog and clamminess as instilling in her the baseline aesthetic of melancholic optimism that permeates her words and music today. ... more
