The Cat Came Back



Old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own. He had a yellow cat that would not leave his home. He tried and he tried to give that cat away. He gave it to a man who was going far away.


CHORUS - - But, the, cat came back, the very next day Oh, the cat came back, he thought he was a goner. But the cat came back, he just wouldn't stay away.


He gave it to a man who was going way out west. He told the man to give that cat to the gal that he loved best. First the train jumped the track, then it hit the rail. Not a single soul was left to tell the gruesome tale.


Chorus






He gave it to a boy with a ten dollar note (wow! ten bucks) He told the boy to take, that cat out in a boat. He tied a rock around it's neck, it must have weighed 10 lbs. Now they drag the river for the little boy who drowned.


Chorus



The man around the corner said he'd shoot that cat on sight. He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite. He waited and he waited for that cat to come around. Ninety-seven pieces of that man were all they found.





Chourus



Someone pushed the button, an atomic holocaust. BOOM! It seemed that the whole of America was lost. Old Mr. Johnson, he laughed with foolish glee. Now that darned old yellow cat will never bother me.


Repeat Chorus twice

Too hot to run/bike.
Too nice out to work.
Best for frisbee-walk-outdoor drinks :)
