English
Singer: Lou Rawls

Well he's a fat cat, a cool cat, nobody's fool cat,

Well look out, 'cause here comes Garfield!

He never keeps fit, he's too hip! He likes his catnip,

Well look out, 'cause here comes Garfield! He's always got to be one-up on ya,

and he'll beat you to the punch everytiiiime!

He'll give up anything for lasagna, unless he has to give up on his naptime! Well he's a neat cat, a fun cat, Mister "number-one" cat,

he knows what life is all abooout! Here comes Garfield! Look out, here comes Garfiiiiiield!

Look out, I said, here comes Garf-i-eld, so you better look out!

'''You better watch out for Garfield,

You never know what he's got up his sleeve,

So when he acts real purry, and friendly and furry

Better count what's on your table before he leaves!

He's a neat cat, a fun cat, Mister "number-one" cat,

he knows what life is all about!

Here comes Garfield, look out!

Here comes Garfield, look out!

I said here comes Garfield, so you better watch out!'''*

Here comes Garfield, you better look out!

È un tipo tosto e cicciotto Indipendente ecco così è Garfield La sua passione è il mangiare Che gran divoratore ecco così è Garfield Si muove solo se ci guadagna Ha uno scatto fuori da ogni realtà Va matto se gli dai la lasagna E dopo un pisolino lui si farà È un gatto stra divertente Che ama tanto il letto Tanto ma non tace mai Così è Garfield, lui certo lui è Garfield Ecco perché uno come lui nel mondo non lo vedrai In tutto il mondo tu non lo vedrai }} He's a tough, chubby guy Independent that's how Garfield is His passion is eating What a great devourer that's Garfield He only moves if he profits from it He has a shot outside of all reality He goes crazy if you give him lasagna And after a nap he will do it He is a very funny cat That he loves bed so much A lot but he never stays silent So he is Garfield, he certainly is Garfield That's why you won't see someone like him in the world In all the world you will not see it
