Poor Man’s Garfield

As it’s come up in conversation several times in the past week, I thought it might be time to go over the lyrics of the Heathcliff theme song once and for all.  Heathcliff, if you remember, is the poor man’s Garfield, a scrappy orange cat that runs around eating from the garbage and hanging out with his weird friends.

Heathcliff, Heathcliff no one should terrify their neighborhood.
But Heathcliff just won’t be undone playing pranks on everyone.
There’s a race to be on top the competition doesn’t stop.

Mixing it with the ladies man being charming debonair.
The gang will rein supreme and no one can deny.
They’ll make some history and always have an alibi.
So join in the jubilee the cats are great, they’ll all agree.
You’ll find in each calamity the cat’s superiority.

Huh, ah oh, oh ah oh, ah uh.  Huh oh ah, ah oh, oh ah oh uh uh.
Heathcliff, Heathcliff no one should terrify the neighborhood.
But Heathcliff just won’t be undone you should realize he can win it with you!

Now if you watched this cartoon as a kid, let me ask you: Did you hear these lyrics in the song?  I didn’t.  I thought the last line was “You can winter and he can winter with you!”  This is fun to do when you’re out with friends.  For extra credit, after the jump are the opening credits of the show.
