how to skin a cat lyrics

We are starting a cat ranch in Lacon with 100,000 cats
Each cat will average 12 kittens a year
The cat skins will sell for 30 cents each
One hundred men can skin 5,000 cats a day

We figure a daily net profit of over $10,000
Now what shall we feed the cats?
We will start a rat ranch next door with 1,000,000 rats
The rats will breed 12 times faster than the cats

So we will have four rats to feed each day to each cat
Now what shall we feed the rats?
We will feed the rats the carcasses of the cats
After they have been skinned

Now get this, we feed the rats to the cats
And the cats to the rats and get the cat skins for nothing
We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats
And get the cat skins for nothing

We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats
And get the cat skins for nothing
We feed the rats the carcasses of the cats
After they have been skinned

Now get this, we feed the rats to the cats
And the cats to the rats and get the cat skins for nothing
We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats
And get the cat skins for nothing
