Old man Johnson had troubles of his own,
He had a yellow cat that just wouldn’t leave his home,
He tried and he tried to give that cat away,
Gave it to a man going far, far away, but...
Chorus
He gave it to a man going way out West
Told him to give it to the one he loved the best
First the train hit the curve, then it jumped the rail
And no is alive to tell the gruesome tale, but...
Chorus
He gave it to a man going up in a balloon
Told him to take it to the man in the moon
The balloon came down about 90 miles away
And where that man is today, I cannot say, but...
Chorus
He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note
Told him to take it up the river in a boat
Tied a rope around it’s neck; It must weighed a hundred pounds
And now they drag the river for the little boy that drowned, but...
Chorus
The man around the corner said he’d shoot the cat on site
He loaded up his shotguns with rounds of dynamite
He waited and he waited for that cat to come around
And 97 pieces of man are all they found, but...
Chorus
The A-bomb fell just the other day
The H-bomb fell in the very same way
England went, Russia went, and the USA
The human race was destroyed without a chance to pray, but...
Chorus
