The Cat Song Lyrics
The Cat Song Jim Crozier

Well, the Cat came back, been gone the last few days
The Cat came back, been gone the last few days.
I let her in, I fell victim to her ways.

Well, I tried to read the paper, but the cat was in the way
Cat tried to read the paper, and the cat was in the way
That cat was in my lap, and this is what I had to say:

Chorus 2x:
If you can relax, you can stay there
Get excited, you gotta get down
(play the blues)

Well, the Cat came back, He showed up at your party.
This cat came back, He shows up at your party,
It's getting late, things begin to get roudy.

Well, this Cat came back, He really had a jones to play,
This cat came back, he really had a jones to play,
He brought his axe, and this is what he had to say:

Chorus 4x (ad lib):
If you can relax, you can stay there
Get excited, you gotta get down.

(c)2005, JACRO Music
