The Cat Came Back - Cisco Houston

Written by：Harry S. Miller. Adapted by Cisco Houston.

Well old Mr Johnson

Had troubles all his own

He had an old yellow cat

That wouldn't leave home

Tried everything he knew to do

To get the cat to stay away

Even took him up to Canada

And told him for to stay

But the cat came back the very next day

Thought he was a goner but the cat came back

`Cause he wouldn't stay away

Well they give a boy a dollar

For to set the cat afloat

And he took him up the river

In a sack and a boat

Well the fishin' it was fine

Till the news got around

That the boat was missing

And the boy was drowned

But the cat came back the very next day

Thought he was a goner but the cat came back

`Cause he wouldn't stay away

Well the farmer on the corner

Said he'd shoot him on sight

And he loaded up his gun

Full of rocks and dynamite

The explosing was hard

Heard all over town

Little pieces of the man

Was all that they found

But the cat came back the very next day

Thought he was a goner but the cat came back

`Cause he wouldn't stay away

Now they gave him to a man

Going up in the balloon

And they told him for to leave him

With the man in the moon

Well the balloon got busted

Back to earth it head

And seven miles away

They picked the man up dead

But the cat came back the very next day

Thought he was a goner but the cat came back

`Cause he wouldn't stay away

Well they finally found a way

This cat for to fix

They put him in an orange crate

On Route 66

Come a ten ton truck

With a twenty ton load

Scattered pieces of the orange crate

All down the road

But the cat came back the very next day

Thought he was a goner but the cat came back

`Cause he wouldn't stay away

Well they took him to the shop

Where the meat was ground

And they dropped him in the hopper

When the butcher wasn't 'round

Well the cat disappeared

With a blood curdling shriek

And the town's meat

Tasted furry for a week

But the cat came back the very next day

Thought he was a goner but the cat came back

`Cause he wouldn't stay away

Let me put in place in abbollin day

And they put him in a place

Shot him in a US rocket

Going way out in space

Well they finally thought the cat

Was out a' human reach

Next day they got a call

From Miami Beach and

But the cat came back the very next day

Thought he was a goner but the cat came back

`Cause he wouldn't stay away
