Song Lyrics: Quick Rattie

[meridian_rose]

Quick Rattie - for a writerverse song rewrite challenge.

I'm using "Soft Kitty" for this challenge, which appears in "The Big Bang Theory" but is actually a twist on a traditional song called "Warm Kitty" – see a vid from the show here or this vid where the song is sung as a round
"Soft Kitty" only has one verse but to make sure I complied with the challenge rules, I've written three verses.

Quick Rattie

Quick rattie, cute rattie
Playing, having fun
Cheeky rattie, happy rattie,
Run, run, run

My rattie, sweet rattie
Brighten up my day
Furry rattie, silly rattie
Play, play, play

Brown rattie, white rattie
Quiet night ahead
Tired rattie, sleepy rattie
Bed, bed, bed


Bonus Illustrations

A rather poor quality gif (poor lighting on source material) and still pic of my ratties – that's Madison in the gif, and on the right of the pic with Claudia front left in the still photo of them in their Cozy Cup ™, a favourite place to sleep although they also have a hammock and a house :)

BB, I love the lyrics and OMG YOUR RATTIES ARE SO CUTE I CAN'T ASKDJHASLGKJHSSLDGJHADG!!!

I love the gif! Madison is so lively and full of energy!)))))
And the pic of her and Claudia together is so heartwarming, awwwwww))))

Thanks for sharing this, bb!! *HUGS*

Thank you :D We call her "Mad Madison" when she goes bounding around with no concern for her own safety! Not that Claudia can't put on a turn of speed when she wants to :)

AWESOME new entry!!!

I'm diving deep in ...dating right now, so I don't know when. I've also got a new idea for a brand new story with a lot of warnings, but if I will write... we'll see.

Aww - I love this. Very well-done and so sweet. And how they brighten up our days.

Run, play, bed - just love it.

I enjoyed the video and the picture, too.

Thank you :D I originally had two verses but thought it needed something more, so I'm glad you liked the additional middle verse's sentiments! My camera's vid function doesn't really do well in low light, but you just about see Madison in the much edited gif :) (And I owe you an email response but I'm going to wait until tomorrow when I'm more awake and functional! HUGS)

Aww, lovely :D The song is so sweet - run, play, bed repeating is a nice touch :)

[meridian_rose]

Thank you :) *good icon choice!*
The original and BBT version both have repetition that I had to copy for the challenge - finding decent words to repeat was quite difficult, so I'm glad the ones I chose worked! :D
