THE CAT
(Chick Thompson)
ROD WILLIS (NRC No. 020, 1959)

Meowwww...

A cat was walking through a cemetery
A tombstone then made him stop
He looked to see just what it said
And this how that tombstone read

Don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone
Don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone
It said, don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone
Don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone
Well, don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone

The wind rose up from across the blue
The cat hollered out, what happened to you?
Toonk-a-toonk... what was that? A b-flat cat!

Don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone
Don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone
Don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone
Don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone
Well, don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone

Then came a voice from a dark bat
Half like a dog and half like a rat
Woof woof... what was that? A fat rabbit cat!

Don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone
Don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone
Just, don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone
Don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone
Well, don't dig me daddy, because I'm real gone
LET'S GO!

Well, that cat took off like a greasy streak
A ghost was a diggin' his crazy beat
Meow meow.. what was that?
I say old chap...
I really don't know what this hell record's about you know

Suggestions welcome!
