The Cat Came Back
Old Mr. Johnson had problems of his own.
He had a yellow cat that just wouldn't leave him
alone.
He tried and he tried to give the cat away.
He gave it to a little man going far away...
But the cat came back the very next day.
Yes, the cat came back.  They thought he was
gone,
But the cat came back.  He just wouldn't stay
away.
He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note.
He told the boy to take the cat up river on a
boat.
The boat turned over and was never found,
And now they drag the river for the little boy
who drowned...
But the cat came back the very next day.
Yes, the cat came back.  They thought he was
gone,
But the cat came back.  He just wouldn't stay
away.
The man around the corner said he'd shoot the cat
on sight.
He loaded up his shotgun full of nails and
dynamite.
He waited... and he waited... 'till the cat came
walking round
And ninety-nine pieces of the man was all they
found...
But the cat came back the very next day.
Yes, the cat came back.  They thought he was
gone,
But the cat came back.  He just wouldn't stay
away.
The H-bomb fell the very next day.
The A-bomb fell in the very same way.
Russia went!  England went!  And then the USA.
The entire human race was left without a chance
to pray...
But the cat came back the very next day.
Yes, the cat came back.  They thought he was
gone,
But the cat came back.  He just wouldn't stay
away.
