[00:00:02] Well old Mr Johnson

[00:00:03] Had troubles all his own

[00:00:04] He had an old yellow cat

[00:00:06] That wouldn't leave home

[00:00:08] Tried everything he knew to do

[00:00:10] To get the cat to stay away

[00:00:11] Even took him up to Canada

[00:00:12] And told him for to stay

[00:00:13] But the cat came back the very next day

[00:00:15] Thought he was a goner but the cat came back

[00:00:18] `Cause he wouldn't stay away

[00:00:23] Well they give a boy a dollar

[00:00:24] For to set the cat afloat

[00:00:25] And he took him up the river

[00:00:26] In a sack and a boat

[00:00:29] Well the fishin' it was fine

[00:00:30] Till the news got around

[00:00:31] That the boat was missing

[00:00:32] And the boy was drowned

[00:00:33] But the cat came back the very next day

[00:00:35] Thought he was a goner but the cat came back

[00:00:38] `Cause he wouldn't stay away

[00:00:41] Well the farmer on the corner

[00:00:42] Said he'd shoot him on sight

[00:00:43] And he loaded up his gun

[00:00:44] Full of rocks and dynamite

[00:00:46] The explosing was hard

[00:00:48] Heard all over town

[00:00:49] Little pieces of the man

[00:00:50] Was all that they found

[00:00:51] But the cat came back the very next day

[00:00:53] Thought he was a goner but the cat came back

[00:00:56] `Cause he wouldn't stay away

[00:00:58] Now they gave him to a man

[00:01:00] Going up in the balloon

[00:01:01] And they told him for to leave him

[00:01:02] With the man in the moon

[00:01:04] Well the balloon got busted

[00:01:05] Back to earth it head

[00:01:06] And seven miles away

[00:01:07] They picked the man up dead

[00:01:09] But the cat came back the very next day

[00:01:11] Thought he was a goner but the cat came back

[00:01:13] `Cause he wouldn't stay away

[00:01:17] Well they finally found a way

[00:01:18] This cat for to fix

[00:01:19] They put him in an orange crate

[00:01:21] On Route 66

[00:01:23] Come a ten ton truck

[00:01:24] With a twenty ton load

[00:01:25] Scattered pieces of the orange crate

[00:01:26] All down the road

[00:01:27] But the cat came back the very next day

[00:01:29] Thought he was a goner but the cat came back

[00:01:32] `Cause he wouldn't stay away

[00:01:36] Well they took him to the shop

[00:01:37] Where the meat was ground

[00:01:38] And they dropped him in the hopper

[00:01:39] When the butcher wasn't 'round

[00:01:41] Well the cat disappeared

[00:01:42] With a blood curdling shriek

[00:01:43] And the town's meat

[00:01:44] Tasted furry for a week

[00:01:46] But the cat came back the very next day

[00:01:48] Thought he was a goner but the cat came back

[00:01:50] `Cause he wouldn't stay away

[00:01:56] And they put him in a place

[00:01:58] Going way out in space

[00:02:00] Well they finally thought the cat

[00:02:01] Was out a' human reach
