Lyrics

Stray cat, where you been
Oh, we'd love it if you'd tell us what you've seen
Down in our backyard barn
Lives a cat
Don't know where the hell he's from
But he thinks he's home
Doesn't have a name
But we love him all the same
He just appeared one day
And from looking at him we know
That he is here to stay
But we wonder where he's been
And we'd love it if he'd tell us what he's seen
I began as a pet
A couple loved me and cared for me
I was at home in the lap of luxury
I had the run of the house
And would chase away the mouse and ratty intruders - what a life!
If only I'd realised how good I had it then
I loved being everybody's favourite feline, oh it was divine
My life was so good I didn't need nine
I was allowed to sleep in the bed
Under the cover was just like a lover - cozy, warm, secure
I was somebody's favourite thing
So why'd it have to change
The lady of the house started acting kind of strange and wouldn't feed me
Cause she said it made her feel queasy to smell the contents of the tin
So I was only fed by him
She gained a lot of weight until there wasn't room for me to lie on her knee
(I know that you'd agree)
What was truly disappointing about it all was when they banned me from the bed
Tried to comfort me with just a pat on the head
What an insult I suffered then
Little did I know what was in store for me the next day
The day my servants went away
All of a sudden I had no one to hold and what if I caught a cold
Then they brought the baby back home
He was just a day old
Look Mum, a cat! What a cat I found!
Cute cat - I want to pull his tail
Come here, cat! Why won't he stick around?
If he'd just come closer I would hug him so tight
To show him just how much I love him
I would give him such a squeeze
Fingers up his nose to make him sneeze
He's looking kind of furry to me
I think he needs a haircut
Now, where is he
Underneath the sofa
Won't you come a little closer, my pet
Let me take you to the vet
Then I'll give you a bath, lead you down the garden path just like a dog
Wouldn't you like to wear these baby clothes - I'll tickle your nose
You're the best toy I've ever had
Oh, my God, the kid's insane, oh, where's his brain
I have to get myself away, the boy is a danger
(I'm a danger)
Nothing could be worse than that
Not being served generic food
Or being patted by a stranger
So I turned my back and found another family worthy of having me
Regrettably my staff had switched alliance since the baby came
We'd never be the same
How could I stay?
When I'd been insulted to that degree
They'd insulted me! Oh how very dare they!
So I'm here to stay
And I'll stay long as this house is baby-free
Down in our backyard
Sleeps a cat
You can tell he's had it hard
(Had a rough old time)
Let's bring him inside
Show him love so he won't hide
Let him sleep on our bed
Warm and cuddly so he knows
He'll never go unfed
Stroke his fur, sing him a song
He'll be loving it
When the new baby comes along
They'll be playing together
When baby's big and strong
We'll be happy together
When baby comes along
When the baby comes along
It'll be a little bit of lovin
And a lot of huggin' when they bring the baby home for good
You'll love the baby too
And how he will love you
You'll make our family so happy
