The Cat Came Back<br />

Old Mr. Johnson had problems of his own.<br />

He had a yellow cat that just wouldn't leave him alone.<br />

He tried and he tried to give the cat away.<br />

He gave it to a little man going far away...<br />

But the cat came back the very next day.<br />

Yes, the cat came back. They thought he was gone,<br />

But the cat came back. He just wouldn't stay away.<br />

He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note.<br />

He told the boy to take the cat up river on a boat.<br />

The boat turned over and was never found,<br />

And now they drag the river for the little boy who drowned...<br />

But the cat came back the very next day.<br />

Yes, the cat came back. They thought he was gone,<br />

But the cat came back. He just wouldn't stay away.<br />

The man around the corner said he'd shoot the cat on sight.<br />

He loaded up his shotgun full of nails and dynamite.<br />

He waited... and he waited... 'till the cat came walking round<br />

And ninety-nine pieces of the man was all they found...<br />

But the cat came back the very next day.<br />

Yes, the cat came back. They thought he was gone,<br />

But the cat came back. He just wouldn't stay away.<br />

The H-bomb fell the very next day.<br />

The A-bomb fell in the very same way.<br />

Russia went! England went! And then the USA.<br />

The entire human race was left without a chance to pray...<br />

But the cat came back the very next day.<br />

Yes, the cat came back. They thought he was gone,<br />

But the cat came back. He just wouldn't stay away.
