|
Old Uncle Judd had troubles of his own. |
|
He had a scruffy yellow tom that wouldn't leave home. |
|
He went to church one Sunday, one Sunday for advice. |
|
The preacher said, "Leave him here, 't'would be so very nice." |
|
CHORUS: |
|
But the cat came back, the cat came back. |
|
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back. |
|
He just couldn't stay away. |
|
He gave him to a man going up in a balloon' |
|
And asked the chap to leave him with the Man in the Moon. |
|
Well, the balloon it must have busted; well, that's what everybody said. |
|
'Cause ten miles away they picked the man up dead. |
|
CHORUS: |
|
Old Uncle Judd swore he'd kill the cat on sight. |
|
He loaded up his blunderbuss with nails & dynamite. |
|
He aimed it at the spot where the tomcat would appear. |
|
All they ever found was Uncle Judd's left ear... |
|
[SPOPKEN:] |
|
"Uh, where did they find it?" |
|
"Well, it was just left 'ere." |
|
CHORUS: |
|
He broke into the house, ate everything in sight; |
|
While outside this Irish fella was looking for a fight. |
|
The cat all smiles sat fat & fully fed. |
|
The fella sang "Rule, Brittania" and the cat dropped dead. |
|
CHORUS: [replace "the cat" with "his ghost"] |
