How To Skin A Cat Lyrics - Husker Du

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
