I dood another song thing.
Watching all the "Occupy" protests taking place all over America and now elsewhere, I thought what was needed was something to draw them all together, to unify the forces, and so the title popped into my head and dragged the rest of the lyrics after it. The tune arrived at about midnight last night and demanded to be recorded or it would self-destruct in five seconds, and I did the vocals this morning.
And the result is "Occupy The Earth."
These here are the lyrics. The song is here, and you can download it free. And if anyone else is confused (as I admit I am) by the multifarious formats available from those nice people at Bandcamp, behold their FAQ on the subject. Short, but perfectly formed I think you'll agree.
I hope you like it. (The song, I mean.)

We are Siamese, if you don't please.
Now we solving murders for Jim Qwilleran
All in books by lady who name Lilian.
I is Kao K'o-kung, but called Ko-Ko for short.
Often I be looking like I deep in thought.
Qwill thinks I be doping out the latest crime.
Me, I wondering when it will be dinner time.
I is female partner, go by name Yum-Yum.
Maybe you is thinking I is cute but dumb.
All I ever seem to do is eat and play.
That 'cause I is telling Ko-Ko what to say.
"Lady who name Lilian" is of course Lilian Jackson Braun, author of the Cat Who mysteries, of which Jan is very fond.
