I log into Facebook to see what news awaits
                              F                   C
Fearing some fresh tragedy or message filled with hate.
   Am                                    F         C
Perhaps there’s been a plane crash where nobody survived
  F                                   C              Em
Instead, the waiting pictures make me glad that I’m alive.

         C                   Em
They are kittens on the net, kittens on the net
F                C            G7             C
Cuddly, cute and innocent are kittens on the net

When I read my Twitter feed, I dread that I will see
                             F               C
A thousand pithy slogans all staring back at me
     Am                        F              C
They ought to say a “rehash” instead of a “re-tweet”
    F                            C                 Em
But some of them quote URLs that link to something neat.

         C                   Em
They are kittens on the net, kittens on the net
F                C            G7             C
Cuddly, cute and innocent are kittens on the net

   C                               G7             C
Perhaps there are emergencies that lead us to the cats
                            F                C
Or maybe it’s escaping on a day when we feel flat.
Am                        F             C
Fluffy little felines are guaranteed to please
       F                            C                  Em
And to think it got momentum from a burger topped with cheese.

        C                   Em
For the kittens on the net, kittens on the net
F                C            G7             C
Cuddly, cute and innocent are kittens on the net

Friends of mine like puppies when they’re curled up on a rug
                                        F                 C
And some are happy with their snakes or strangely smiling bugs
      Am                            F               C
Still others are insistent there is nothing like an owl
    F                        C               Em
But I prefer a kitten who is learning how to prowl.

They are kittens on the net, kittens on the net

I’ve heard that Willy Brennan was an Irish Robin Hood.
                                 F             C
He stole a lot of money, then he used it to do good.
     Am                                       F            C
They hanged him ‘cause the World Wide Web was not invented yet,
       F                                    C              Em
So the soldiers weren’t distracted by those kittens on the net.

          C                   Em
There are kittens on the net, kittens on the net
F                C            G7             C
Cuddly, cute and innocent are kittens on the net

Cuddly, cute and innocent are kittens on the net
