The Cat Came Back

The Cat Came Back
Old Mr. Johnson had problems of his own.
He had a little cat that just wouldn't leave his home.
He tried and he tried to give the cat away.
He gave it to a little man going far far away...
But the cat came back the very next day.
The cat came back. They thought he was goner
But the cat came back. He just wouldn't stay away.
He gave it to a little boy for a five-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.
The cat came back. They thought he was goner
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.
The cat came back. They thought he was goner
But the cat came back. He just wouldn't stay away.
The H-bomb fell the other next day.
The A-bomb fell in the exact same way.
First Russia! Then China! And then the USA.
The entire human race was left without a chance to pray...
But the cat came back the very next day.
The cat came back. They thought he was goner,
But the cat came back. He just wouldn't stay away.
