Catscratch Theme Song Lyrics

La la la la la la la, Catscratch! Gordon and Waffle and Mr. Blik When the old lady died she left them rich A mansion, cars, life’s a kick, Catscratch! Catscratch, Catscratch, Catscratch! La la la la la la la, Catscratch! Yes, when it comes to cash they’ve quite a bit Anything they want they’ll take their pick But the trouble they’re in just never quits When it comes to brains they’re a little bit thick Catscratch, Catscratch, Catscratch! Oh, Catscratch! La la la la la la la, Catscratch!

Behind the Music: Meaning & Story

The Catscratch theme song is a high-energy introduction to one of Nickelodeon’s most eccentric animated series. Created by Doug TenNapel—the creative mind also responsible for Earthworm Jim—the show was adapted from his comic book series Gear. The theme song serves as a concise backstory, explaining how three very different cat brothers inherited a massive fortune and a mansion from their deceased owner, Mrs. Edna Cramdilly.

The musical identity of the show was forged by composer Terry Scott Taylor, whose whimsical and slightly manic score perfectly complements the show’s slapstick humor. The lyrics highlight the distinct personalities of the trio: the brave but dim-witted Gordon, the erratic and sweet Waffle, and the arrogant, self-appointed leader Mr. Blik. The song emphasizes that while they have plenty of money, they are “a little bit thick,” leading to the chaotic adventures that defined the series.

Boasting a powerhouse voice cast including Wayne Knight, Rob Paulsen, and Kevin McDonald, Catscratch ran for a single season of 20 episodes. Despite its short run, the theme song remains a cult classic for fans of mid-2000s animation, capturing the surreal and vibrant energy of the Nicktoons era.
