Lyrics:
Meow, meow, meow
Now, just like everbody, you've got troubles of your own But let me tell you, mister, of the sorrow I have known I had an old, gray cat that I couldn't bear to keep He spent the nights a-howlin' and he wouldn't let me sleep
So I put him in a box and I tied it up quite well I had some fellas help me and I paid them not to tell They put it in a boxcar, the westbound 710 The train pulled away and was never seen again
But the cat came back the very next day Yes, the cat came back and he wouldn't stay away Meow, kitty. Meow, so pretty Meow, such a pity, but the cat came back
We took him to the harbor and we put him on a ship We bid him, 'Bon voyage,' for that oceanic trip The captain was obliging and glad to help us out They tied him to the anchor so that there could be no doubt
Well, we heard the sad report of that mighty storm at sea And, though it may sound heartless, I was happy as can be The paper said the ship went down beneath a heavy gale And not a single soul was left to tell the awful tale
But the cat came back the very next day Yes, the cat came back and he wouldn't stay away Meow, kitty. Meow, so pretty Meow, such a pity, but the cat came back
Then we gave him to a scientist destined for the moon The cat was used for ballast in an outer space balloon I guess you know what happened, that balloon is up there still And early that next morning, guess what came across the hill
Meow, that's right
Now, everyone in town was sworn to shoot that cat on sight With that crazy cat around, you couldn't sleep at night We even formed a posse just to hunt that critter down You could hear the guns a-blazin' as we ran him out of town
But the cat came back the very next day Yes, the cat came back and he wouldn't stay away Meow, kitty. Meow, so pretty Meow, such a pity, but the cat came back
Here's the moral to our story: When looking for a friend If you get an old, gray cat, he's yours until the end You'll never drag him off, no matter what you do Bear in mind this dreadful tale that we have told to you
Yes, the cat came back the very next day Yes, the cat came back and he wouldn't stay away Meow, kitty. Meow, so pretty Meow, such a pity, but the cat came back
Meow!
