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
