"The cat came back, the very next day.
Oh, the cat came back, they thought he was a goner,
but the cat came back, he just wouldn't stay
away, away, away. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Old man Johnson had troubles of his own.
He had a little cat that wouldn't leave his home.
He tried and he tried to give that cat away.
But each time he did it came back the next day.
(CHORUS)
He gave it to a boy, with a dollar note.
Told him for to take it to the river in a boat.
"Tie a rock around his neck," must of weighed a hundred pounds,
Now they're draggin' the river for that little boy that drowned.
But...
(CHORUS)
He gave it to a man going way out west.
Told him for to take it to the one he loved best.
The train hit the curb, and then it jumped the rail.
And noone is alive today to tell the grusome tell.
But...
(CHORUS)
He gave it to a man going up in a balloon.
Told him for to take it to the man on the moon.
The balloon came down about 90 miles away.
And where the man is today I could not say.
But...
(CHORUS)
Now old man Johnson swore he's shoot that cat on sight,
So he loaded up his shotgun with six sticks of dyanamite.
He waited 'round the corner for that cat to come around,
And 97 pieces of man are all that they found.
But...
(CHORUS)
The A-Bomb fell just the other day...
The H-Bomb fell in the very same way...
England went... Russia went... and then, the USA...
The human race... was destroyed... without a chance to pray...
However...
(CHORUS)"
