Heathcliff Theme Song Lyrics
Heathcliff, Heathcliff, no one should terrify their neighborhood
But Heathcliff just won’t be outdone playing pranks on everyone
There’s a race to be on top the competition doesn’t stop
Mixing with the ladies fair being charming debonair
The gang will reign supreme and no one can deny
They’ll make some history and always have an alibi
So join in the jubilee the cats are great they’ll all agree
You’ll find in each calamity the cat’s superiority
Heathcliff, Heathcliff, no one should terrify the neighborhood
But Heathcliff just won’t be outdone you should realize he can win it with you!
Official Opening Intro
In Plain English: What is Heathcliff?
In simple terms, Heathcliff is an animated series based on the comic strip by George Gately. The show usually consists of two segments: one featuring the mischievous orange tabby Heathcliff, and the other featuring The Catillac Cats (led by the savvy Rif Raf).
The theme song perfectly captures Heathcliff’s personality—he is a “debonair” prankster who rules the neighborhood. While he can be a bit of a terror to the local residents and the fish market, he is ultimately a charming hero who always manages to stay one step ahead of “calamity.”
