The Cat! OMG!

[surei]

I thought I'd lost it. In fact, I'd forgotten all about it, until it suddenly popped into my head. And then, all that time spent trying to find it again online... and it was on my hard drive. Which is a good thing, because it ain't online no more.

And the cat came back, the very next day...

Yes, that song. This version is a short one, by Graham Clarke (no clue who that is, but whatever), and involves humorous additions. I love this song! Especially the phone call! *collapsed in laughter* And the voice for the old man!

Extras in italics.

Old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own
He had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave his home
He tried and tried to give the cat away
He even took it up to Canada, and told it to stay
He said, "Stay, cat, stay!"

But! The cat came back the very next day
Yes, the cat came back, you thought he was a goner
But the cat came back, he just couldn't stay away...

Well, he gave the boy a dollar to set the cat afloat
So he took him to the river and he put him on a boat
—A big boat. A great big giant bo~~~at [insert Spanish wailing notes]
The boat went to China, and Timbuktu
And then the boat got lost, and didn't leave a clue
It didn't leave a clue

But! The cat came back the very next day
Yes, the cat came back, you thought he was a goner
But the cat came back, he just couldn't stay away

Well, he said, "I know how this cat I'm gonna fix!
"I'm gonna put him in an orange crate on Route 66!"
Along came a truck with a twenty-ton load
He put the crate on the truck, and drove down the road
Very far away, I'm told

But! The cat came back the very next day
Yes, the cat came back, you thought he was a goner
But the cat came back, he just couldn't stay away...

Well, he took him to Cape Canaveral, where they were having the space race
And they shot him in a rocket ship bound for outer spa~~ce!
To infinity! And beyond!
Mr. Johnson thought that the cat was out of reach
But then he got a phone call from Miami Beach

"Miami Beach? I don't know anybody in Miami Beach!"

Brrrrring! Brrrrring!

"Who could that be?"

Brrrrring!

[phone being picked up] "Hello?"

~Meow~

[shaken] "Oh no."

And the cat came back, the very next day
Yes, the cat came back, you thought he was a goner
And the cat came back, he just couldn't stay away...
He couldn't stay away!


Just imagine me giggling at every opportunity. I need a userpic of someone rolling on the groud.
