Текст песни The Cat Came Back - The Countdown Kids

Now old mister Johnson had troubles of his own
He had a yellow cat who wouldn't leave its home
He tried and he tried to give the cat away
He gave it to a man goin' far, far away(meow)

But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; he just couldn't stay away

Now the man around the corner swore he'd kill the cat on sight
He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite
He waited and he waited for the cat to come around
97 pieces of the man is all they found (meow)

But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; he just couldn't stay away

He gave it to a man going up in a balloon
He told him to take it to the man in the Moon
The balloon came down about 90 miles away
Where the man is now, well I dare not say(meow)

But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; he just couldn't stay away

He gave it to a man going way out West
He told him to take it to the one he loved the best
First the train hit the track, then it jumped a rail
Not a soul was left behind to tell the gruesome tale(meow)

But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; he just couldn't stay away

Now the cat was a father of a family of his own
With seven little kittens, then came a cyclone
It tore the houses all apart and tossed the cat around
The air was filled with kittens, not a one was found(meow)

But the cat came back, the very next day
The cat came back; they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back, he just couldn't stay away(meow)

But the cat came back, the very next day
The cat came back; they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back, he just couldn't stay away(meow)

(Meow)
