My cat died and I quickly poured myself some gin
|
Did she die from old age or was it for my sins
|
God I loved her oh so much
|
Miss her little kitty touch
|
Does she miss me does she care
|
Oh I miss her kitty stare
|
Do you have a little time
|
Would you like to ease my mind
|
Talk for hours and never stop
|
Chop your head off
|
Be a lighter person
|
Brighter person nicer
|
But you've heard it all before
|
|
[chorus]
|
So ding dong
|
There's the doorbell hello man in white
|
He's gonna make you all well
|
Getcha through the night
|
But hey now
|
You don't feel better
|
As you take your fresh bromide
|
Maybe this man of letters lied
|
|
Let me tell you 'bout a dream I had the other night
|
You were in it boy you sure gave me a super fright
|
I was walking down the street
|
Downtown by the DMV
|
You popped out behind a door
|
It was odd you were on all fours
|
Do you have some time to spare
|
You were barking at a bear
|
It said hey you'd better stop
|
Chop your head off
|
Be a lighter person
|
Brighter person
|
Nicer
|
But you've heard it all before
|
|
[chorus]
|
So ding dong
|
There's the doorbell
|
Hello man in red
|
He's gonna make you all well
|
Getcha into bed
|
But hey now
|
You don't feel better
|
As you wake and slowly rise
|
Maybe this smooth jet-setter lied
|
|
[instrumental break]
|
|
Stick around one minute more
|
I'm smarter than you think
|
Do I sound like an old bore
|
Oh man it's just the drink
|
I didn't always hit the gin
|
There were times when I fit in
|
They'll never know how much I tried
|
Did I tell you my cat died
|
Do you have a little time
|
Would you like to feel sublime
|
Run away and never stop
|
Chop your head off
|
Be a lighter person
|
Brighter person
|
Nicer
|
But you've heard it all before
|
|
[chorus]
|
So ding dong
|
There's the doorbell
|
Hello man in black
|
He's gonna make you all well
|
There's no going back
|
But hey now you don't feel better
|
As you drift off in the tide
|
Maybe this jack the ripper lied
|
And you died
|
