E- D C B
Old Mrs. Johnson had troubles of her own
She had a yellow cat that wouldn’t leave her home
She tried and she tried to give the cat away
She gave it to a man going far far away…BUT
Chorus:
The cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, they thought she was a goner
But the cat came back, it just wouldn’t stay away
She gave it to a man going up in a balloon
Told him for to take it to the man up in the moon
The balloon came down ‘bout eighty miles away
But where the man is now, well, I really couldn’t say…BUT
She gave it to a man going way out west
Told him for to take it to the one that he loves best
First the train hit a curve, then in jumped the rail
Not a soul was left behind to tell the gruesome tale…BUT
She brought it to the Waynflete School to get it out from under
They hung it on the roof exposed to lightening and thunder
A storm brewed up, the roof blew off, it got extremely cold
At last the building flew away, now there’s nothing left but a hole…BUT
