Misc - The Cat Came Back lyrics
rate meThe 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.
