*classical music plays in the background...a delicate piano and string
piece in a minor key that might well be a /nocturne/...*

*bass beat begins in the background and rises in volume until...*

Shut up, sit down, and raise your paws
Rally the troops behind my cause
Listen to me--I'm like the Army Sarge
Things gonna change now that I'm in charge
My name's Nocturne, I'm your God and Queen
The darkest kitty you ever seen
Mind sharp as a razor and clear as a bell
Soul sprung up from the depths of hell...

Listen up humans, yeah all of you fools
I'm in control now and here are my rules
First up, anybody who wants to talk back
To me, Nocturne, will get a smack!
If you come around, start talkin' trash
you'll get five claws in a nasty slash
If you dirty the Palace of your God-Queen Nox
you'll be licking up treasure from my kitty litter box!

if you don't get up outta sleepy-bed
at six AM when I should get fed
then I drop a lamp right on your head
and don't be surprised if you wind up dead!
if you don't gimme pets whenever I say
if you don't worship me all night and day
if you don't do things in Nocturne's way
then human, dear, you gonna pay!

You got a problem?  I got a solution!
My name's Nocturne and I'm talkin' revolution
I ain't puttin' up with human jive--
they fall in line or they ain't alive
when I'm done with 'em.  I'm the Cat in Control
Wreckin' their bodies an' eatin' their souls
Curled on my chair, so dark and enthroned
Look out people or you'll get OWNED!

*classical nocturne to fade.*
