Poor Dorma the doormouse has been rudely sacked from her job, her boss Fox is replacing her with an artificial voice synth (what a snob!) Her department is gone, snuffed are its lights! Evil corporate Kingdom™ prevailed so there’s Revenge Songs to write! The task falls to freewheelin’ stray/singer Puss to assemble her old band & take down some crooks! It’s no easy gig & It’s likely to suck… the band’s all got issues (‘swhy they broke up.) Can they find a rhythm & work in cahoots? This song’s The Ballad of Puss n’ Boots!
