The Cat Came Back back
Chorus:
Oh! 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 couldn’t stay away, away, away, HEY HEY HEY!
Lyrics:
Old Man Johnson had troubles of his own.
He had a yellow cat that wouldn’t leave his home.
He tried and he tried, to give that cat away.
He gave him to a man going far, far away.
Chorus.
He gave it to a man going up in a balloon.
He told ‘em to give it to the Man in the Moon.
The balloon came down about 90 miles away.
But where that man is today I can not say!
Chorus.
He gave him to a boy with a dollar note,
Told him to take up the river in a boat,
Tied a rock round its neck must have weighed a hundred pounds,
And now they’re dredging the river for the little boy who drowned.
Chorus.
He gave it to a man goin’ way out West.
He told him to give it to the one he loved best.
The train hit the curve, and then jumped the rail.
And no one is alive today to tell the gruesome tale!
Chorus.
Old Man Johnson swore he’d shoot that cat on sight!
He loaded up his shotgun with rail of dynamite.
He waited and he waited for that cat to come around.
But 97 pieces of that man were all they found!
Chorus.
The A-Bomb fell, just the other day!
The H-Bomb fell in the the very same way.
First went England. Awwwww.. (one singer should drop)
Then went Iraq. Yay! (another singer should drop)
But then the U S A.. awww... (last or all singers should drop)
The human race,
was destroyed,
with out a chance to praaaaaaaaaay...
-pause-
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 couldn’t stay away, away, away, HEY HEY HEY!
