The Cat Songtext
von Rod Willis

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

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

Well, the wind rose up from across the blue
The cat hollered out "What happened to you?"
What was that?
A B flat, cat


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

Then came a voice from that dark vast
Half like a lark and half like a rat
What was that?
A fat rat, cat

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

Well, that cat took off like a greasy streak
The ghost was diggin′ his crazy feet
Hey man, what was that?
I say it, chap, I really don′t know what
This whole record's about, you know
