I'm chasing your long tail
A red and black striped furry rope
Always just out of reach
Just when I think I can grab ahold
I stretch just a bit
And you pull your tail in just enough
Weaving in and out of trees
Blind outcroppings
Roots sticking out whacking me in the knees
It seems as if I've been chasing you forever
Or at least for half an hour
So it's time for something clever
Paws into pocket to retrieve my long grabber
Three feet long with mechanical fingers
Soon to be an improvised striped tail nabber
With a final burst of speed
And a reach with the extension
When I felt upon my own tail all kinds of squeezing and tension
All this time I thought it was you
When I was running myself ragged
Chasing after myself
A red and black striped furry rope
Always just out of reach
Just when I think I can grab ahold
I stretch just a bit
And you pull your tail in just enough
Weaving in and out of trees
Blind outcroppings
Roots sticking out whacking me in the knees
It seems as if I've been chasing you forever
Or at least for half an hour
So it's time for something clever
Paws into pocket to retrieve my long grabber
Three feet long with mechanical fingers
Soon to be an improvised striped tail nabber
With a final burst of speed
And a reach with the extension
When I felt upon my own tail all kinds of squeezing and tension
All this time I thought it was you
When I was running myself ragged
Chasing after myself
