The Cat Came Back
Little Bennie had a cat that they wouldn't let him keep
So he put her up for sale at a price he thought was cheap
He took her to a neighbor to ask him for advice
He said, "Leave the kitty here. She can help me with the mice."
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away
She was sitting on the porch the very next day
The cat came back, she didn't want to roam
The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.
Then Bennie met a man who was driving way out West
He would take the cat along as a special honored guest
The steering wheel was wobbly, he drove into a tree
The car was just a total wreck as anyone could see
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away
She was sitting on the porch the very next day
The cat came back, she didn't want to roam
The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.
So Bennie bought a gun from the Human Cannonball
He put the cat inside with Tri-Nitro Toluol
When he pulled the trigger, the cannon made a roar
The neighbors all surrendered 'cause they thought it was a war
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away
She was sitting on the porch the very next day
The cat came back, she didn't want to roam
The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.
Then Bennie gave the cat to a man who had a bomb
When he took the cat away, she was acting cool and calm
And then the bomb exploded, it made an awful sound
They searched and searched for ages but the man was never found
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away
She was sitting on the porch the very next day
The cat came back, she didn't want to roam
The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.
O Gato Voltou
O pequeno Bennie tinha um gato que não podiam deixar ficar
Então ele decidiu vendê-la por um preço que achou barato
Levou-a a um vizinho pra pedir um conselho
Ele disse: "Deixa a gatinha aqui. Ela pode me ajudar com os ratos."
Mas o gato voltou, não queria se afastar
Estava sentada na varanda no dia seguinte a esperar
O gato voltou, não queria vagar
No dia seguinte era Lar, Doce Lar.
Então Bennie conheceu um cara que ia pra longe, pro Oeste
Ele levaria o gato como um convidado de honra, um teste
O volante estava balançando, ele bateu em uma árvore
O carro ficou uma sucata, qualquer um podia ver
Mas o gato voltou, não queria se afastar
Estava sentada na varanda no dia seguinte a esperar
O gato voltou, não queria vagar
No dia seguinte era Lar, Doce Lar.
Então Bennie comprou uma arma do Canhão Humano
Colocou o gato dentro com Tri-Nitro Tolueno
Quando puxou o gatilho, o canhão fez um estrondo
Os vizinhos se renderam achando que era um bombardeio
Mas o gato voltou, não queria se afastar
Estava sentada na varanda no dia seguinte a esperar
O gato voltou, não queria vagar
No dia seguinte era Lar, Doce Lar.
Então Bennie deu o gato a um cara que tinha uma bomba
Quando ele levou o gato, ela estava calma, sem sombra
E então a bomba explodiu, fez um barulho horrível
Procuraram e procuraram, mas o cara nunca foi achado
Mas o gato voltou, não queria se afastar
Estava sentada na varanda no dia seguinte a esperar
O gato voltou, não queria vagar
No dia seguinte era Lar, Doce Lar.
