The Cat Came Back

O Gato Voltou

The Cat Came Back

O pequeno Bennie tinha um gato que não podiam deixar ficarLittle Bennie had a cat that they wouldn't let him keep
Então ele decidiu vendê-la por um preço que achou baratoSo he put her up for sale at a price he thought was cheap
Levou-a a um vizinho pra pedir um conselhoHe took her to a neighbor to ask him for advice
Ele disse: "Deixa a gatinha aqui. Ela pode me ajudar com os ratos."He said, "Leave the kitty here. She can help me with the mice."

Mas o gato voltou, não queria se afastarBut the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away
Estava sentada na varanda no dia seguinte a esperarShe was sitting on the porch the very next day
O gato voltou, não queria vagarThe cat came back, she didn't want to roam
No dia seguinte era Lar, Doce Lar.The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.

Então Bennie conheceu um cara que ia pra longe, pro OesteThen Bennie met a man who was driving way out West
Ele levaria o gato como um convidado de honra, um testeHe would take the cat along as a special honored guest
O volante estava balançando, ele bateu em uma árvoreThe steering wheel was wobbly, he drove into a tree
O carro ficou uma sucata, qualquer um podia verThe car was just a total wreck as anyone could see

Mas o gato voltou, não queria se afastarBut the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away
Estava sentada na varanda no dia seguinte a esperarShe was sitting on the porch the very next day
O gato voltou, não queria vagarThe cat came back, she didn't want to roam
No dia seguinte era Lar, Doce Lar.The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.

Então Bennie comprou uma arma do Canhão HumanoSo Bennie bought a gun from the Human Cannonball
Colocou o gato dentro com Tri-Nitro ToluenoHe put the cat inside with Tri-Nitro Toluol
Quando puxou o gatilho, o canhão fez um estrondoWhen he pulled the trigger, the cannon made a roar
Os vizinhos se renderam achando que era um bombardeioThe neighbors all surrendered 'cause they thought it was a war

Mas o gato voltou, não queria se afastarBut the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away
Estava sentada na varanda no dia seguinte a esperarShe was sitting on the porch the very next day
O gato voltou, não queria vagarThe cat came back, she didn't want to roam
No dia seguinte era Lar, Doce Lar.The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.

Então Bennie deu o gato a um cara que tinha uma bombaThen Bennie gave the cat to a man who had a bomb
Quando ele levou o gato, ela estava calma, sem sombraWhen he took the cat away, she was acting cool and calm
E então a bomba explodiu, fez um barulho horrívelAnd then the bomb exploded, it made an awful sound
Procuraram e procuraram, mas o cara nunca foi achadoThey searched and searched for ages but the man was never found

Mas o gato voltou, não queria se afastarBut the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away
Estava sentada na varanda no dia seguinte a esperarShe was sitting on the porch the very next day
O gato voltou, não queria vagarThe cat came back, she didn't want to roam
No dia seguinte era Lar, Doce Lar.The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.
