With sawdust and duct tape
Describing the wife's resourcefulness with materials like sawdust and duct tape.
Makes a meal you'll adore
Emphasizing the wife's cooking skills and the delightful nature of her meals.

Commending the wife's exceptional abilities.
But the trait I can't ignore
Pointing out a trait related to cats that the speaker can't overlook.
Is when it comes to owning cats
Referring to the wife's inclination or obsession with owning cats.
She cries more, more, more
Expressing the wife's intense emotional response (crying) to having more cats.
I said why are cats great at all
Questioning the greatness of cats, given their tendency to vomit.
When all they do is puke
Highlighting a negative aspect of cats (vomiting).
She laughed and said don't you recall
Recalling a positive quality about a cat named Skittles playing the ukulele.
That Skittles plays the uke
Linking a cat's positive attribute to musical talent.
And don't you know
Introducing various cats with specific musical instruments they play.
The old banjo is plucked by old Bamboo
-And hey diddle diddle
-Kitty in the middle
-Menti Cat says she plays the fiddle
-And Natasha she is long and thin
-So she's the one plays mandolin
-And last not least it's so bizarre
-That Clockwork Orange plays guitar
-Bella Boodle, she books the band
Describing roles of different cats, including managing the band and a plea for another cat named Kitty Purry.
Collects the pay and drives the van
-But we need one more to be a fan
-The name is Kitty Purry - PLEASE
-I said what have you been smoking
Expressing skepticism and disbelief about the existence of musical cats.
I remember none of that
-And even in my wildest dreams
-There are no musician cats
-But then and there I said okay
Committing to evaluating if the cats are indeed exceptional.
Let's see if they're the best
Providing instruments to the cats and putting them to the test.
I gave 'em all the instruments
-And put 'em to the test
Initiating the test with the cats using instruments.
Meow meow meow meow
Describing the humorous and unconventional sound of the cats playing their instruments.

Expressing the initial amusement and later seriousness about the cats' musical performance.
I couldn't help but cry
-But then I got real serious
-And looked her in the eye
-I said that sounded terrible

Not good, not even fair
-But if we play our cards just right
-They'll make us millionaires
-So I said yes now here we are
Describing the current successful situation, performing at the Hollywood Bowl with the cat band Tuna Catsserole.
At the famous Hollywood Bowl
-With the fab feline phenomena
-Known as Tuna Catsserole
-Yes they make us tons of money
Acknowledging financial success but conveying a limit to the number of cats the speaker's willing to accept.
And our bank account is fat
-But I've had to tell my honey
-Now my dear I'm telling you
-NO MORE CATS
Firmly stating a refusal to have more cats.
