Now old Mr.
Johnson had worries of his own, He had an old yellow [D] cat that wouldn't leave home.
[G] Tried everything he knew to do to keep the cat away,
Even took him up to Kakadu and told him there to stay,
But [D] the [A] cat [G] came back, very next day the [D] old cat [G] came back,
Thought he was a goner but [C] the cat came [D] back, He wouldn't stay [G] away.
Now this cat was a terror so they thought it would be best
To give him to a fella who [D] was going out west.
[G] Train ran around a curb and it hit a broken rail,
Not a blessed soul aboard the train lived to tell the tale
[D] That the cat [G] came back, very next day the [D] old cat [G] came back,
Thought he was a goner [C] but the cat came back, [D] He wouldn't [G] stay away.
So they threw him in the kennel where the dog was asleep,
And the bones of cats [D] lay piled in a heap.
[G] That kennel burst open and the dog ran outside,
His ears chewed off and holes in his [D] hide,
But the cat [G] came back, very next day the [D] old cat [G] came back,
Thought he was a [C] goner but the cat came back, [D] He wouldn't [G] stay away.
Oh they stuck him to the shop when the butcher wasn't round,
And they threw him in the mincer where [D] the meat was round.
[G] The old cat disappeared with a terrible shriek,
And the town's mincemeat tasted furry for a [D] week,
But the cat [G] came back, very next day the [D] old cat [G] came back,
Thought he was a [C] goner but the cat came [D] back, He wouldn't [G] stay away.
Now the farmer on the corner said he'd shoot the cat on sight,
So he loaded up his gun [D] with nails and dynamite,
[G] He waited in the garden till the cat came around,
Seven little pieces of the man was all they found,
[D] But the cat [G] came back, very next day [D] the old cat [G] came back,
Thought he was a goner [C] but the cat came back, [D] He wouldn't [G] stay away.
So they put him on a rocket ship headed for the stars,
Got a message back [D] saying landed up on Mars,
[G] Said the men were doing fine and the monkey and the rat,
But they couldn't find a trace of the old yellow cat,
[D] And the cat [G] turned up, the very next day the [D] old cat [G] came home,
Thought he was a goner but [C] the cat came [D] back, He wouldn't stay [G] away.
[D] No, he wouldn't [G] stay away.
