But the cat came back the very next day The cat came back. He thought it was a gonner But the cat came back It just couldn't stay away!

So he put it in a sandwich with cream cheese and figs Then took it to the barnyard for his very hungry pigs The pigs chewed the pigs munched, they ate and ate and ate I've done it now the farmer said. It's finally met its fate!

(everybody sing!)

But the cat came back the very next day The cat came back he thought it was a gonner But the cat came back It just couldn't stay away!

So he gave the cat to a cowgirl living out west It rode around the lone prairie in the cowgirl's leather vest One day she dropped it in a herd of angry cows That's the end the farmer said no more meow meow

But the cat came back the very next day The cat came back he thought it was a gonner But the cat came back It just couldn't stay away

So he put it in the freezer, which wasn't very nice It sat on top of frozen chicken and several trays of ice Farmer Johnson slept all night and at the crack of dawn He looked inside the freezer The yellow cat was gone!

And the cat came back the very next day The cat came back he thought it was a gonner But the cat came back It just couldn't stay away!

If the farmer wants another pet This is what he ought to get A worm that squirms or a kangaroo, A llama in pajamas or a dog that moos

Okay, okay, you can stay said the farmer but PLEASE no more trouble. You can't drink milk out of the pitcher, you can't climb the curtains, you can't lie on my paper when I'm trying to... read...

(everybody) OH, The cat came back, It just couldn’t stay away!
