If I were a cat:

If I were a cat I wouldn't swing a bat.
If I were a mouse I wouldn't have a house.
If I were a bird I wouldn't say a word.
If I were a snake I wouldn't use a rake.
If I were a hound I wouldn't like the pound.
If I were a mole I wouldn't dig for coal.
If I were a cow I wouldn't take a bow.
So I'd rather just be me just me.
