Am E7 Am E7
Old Mr. Johnson had trouble
all his own
Am E7 Am E7
He had a yellow cat that
wouldn't leave his home
Am Dm Am E7
He tried in every way to
keep that cat away
Am E7 Am E7
Took him up to Canada and
told him for to stay
Am Dm Am E7
But the cat came back
the very next day
Am Dm Am E7
The cat came back, they
thought he was a goner
Am Dm Am E7 Am Dm Am
E7
But the cat came back, he just wouldn't stay away
On a telegraph wire the
birds were sitting in a bunch
He saw an even number,said he'd have 'em for his
lunch
Climbed softly up the pole until he reached the top
Put his foot upon the 'lectric
wire, tied him in a knot
This cat had company out in the backyard
Somebody threw a
boot and threw it awful hard
Hit the cat behind the ear and he thought it was a slight
And
down came a brick and knocked him out of sight
They threw him in the kennel where the dog
was asleep
And the bones of cats lay piled in a heap
That kennel burst apart and the dog
flew out the side
With his ears chewed off and holes in his hide
They sneaked him in
a shop with the butcher not around
And they dropped him in the hopper where the meat was
ground
The cat despaired with a blood-curdling shriek
And that shops hamburger tasted
furry for a week
They put him in a cotton sack and gave him to a girl
Who'd started
on a bicycle all around the world
Well, over there in China a terrible wreak was
found
She's singing now in heaven with the angels all around
Now this cat was a
terror and they thought it would be best
To give him to a feller who was going way out
west
Train ran round a curve and hit a broken rail
Not a blessed soul aboard that train
lived to tell the tale
The cat was a possessor of a family all its own
With seven
little kittens till there was a cyclone
Blew the houses all apart and tossed the cat
around
The air was full of kittens and not a one was found
Away across the ocean
they did send the cat at last
Vessel only out a day and taking water fast
People all began
to pray, the boat began to toss
A great big gust of wind came by and every soul was
lost
They gave the cat to a man in a balloon
And told him to give him to the man in
the moon
But the balloon it busted and everybody said
Ten miles away they picked the man
up dead
At last they found a way this cat to really fix
They put him in an
orange crate on highway 66
Come a ten ton truck with a twenty ton load
Scattered pieces of
that orange crate a mile down the road
They put him on a boat bound for
Sidneytown
They thought with all that rain there he'd surely drowned
When the rain came
down for the 92nd day
That whole darn city just a floated out the bay
The farmer on
the corner said he'd shoot that cat on sight
Loaded up his shotgun full of nails and
dynamite
And he hid in the garden till the cat came round
But 97 pieces of that man were
all they found
They put him on the White House lawn, I'll tell the reason why
With all the
golfballs flying, they thought he'd surely die
Well the very next morning, what do you think
they found
64 squirrels lying dead upon the ground
Gave him to a little boy with a
dollar note
Who was going out to sea in an open boat
They tied a rock around his neck, it
must have weighed a pound
Now they're dragging up the river, cause the little boy was
drowned
They took him down to Cape Canaveral and they put him into place
And they
shot him in a satellite way up into space
They thought that the cat was beyond human
reach
And then they got a phone call from Miami Beach
H bomb fell just the other
day,
A bomb fell in the very same way
Russia went, England went, then the USA
The
whole human race gone without a chance to pray
Recorded Marais & Miranda, several
others.
