HYMN TO A STRAY CAT
to the tune of “Yankee Doodle”
verse 1
Old brown tiger tabby cat
for a time did roam
now’s the time for him to pack
and travel to his home
chorus
Old brown tiger tabby cat
roaming days are over
Old brown tabby tiger cat
it’s time to now move over
verse 2
Old brown tabby tiger cat
a cat who ruled his range
lady luck was not a cat
to him she was quite strange
chorus
Old brown tabby tiger cat
your roaming days are gone
Old brown tabby tiger cat
it’s time to now move on
verse 3
Old brown tiger tabby cat
lived a life of freedom
freedom for a cat is hard
to give up for a reason
chorus
Old brown tiger tabby cat
straying days go swiftly
Old brown tiger tabby cat
your end comes near to thee
verse 4
Old brown tabby tiger cat
couldn’t see too clearly
clouded eyes are not too good
for cats who are too weary
chorus
Old brown tabby tiger cat
roaming days now over
Old brown tabby tiger cat
your range is growing closer
verse 5
Old brown tiger tabby cat
made his big mistake
went inside of my garage
and that was my big break
chorus
Old brown tiger tabby cat
spraying days no more
Old brown tiger tabby cat
will mark no more my door
verse 6
Old brown tabby tiger cat
you must have know it then
‘cuz you went into the trap
with patience til the end
chorus
Old brown tabby tiger cat
at the Bridge they want you
Old brown tabby tiger cat
you lived a life quite foot loose
verse 7
Old brown tiger tabby cat
it make me really sad
but there is another here
and such a life you had
chorus
Old brown tiger tabby cat
your roaming days are gone
Old brown tiger tabby cat
it’s time you now move on
verse 8
Old brown tabby tiger cat
you caused a lot of trouble
Old brown tabby tiger cat
you faced the end quite noble
chorus
Old brown tabby tiger cat
roaming days are over
Old brown tabby tiger cat
it’s time for you to go there
verse 9
Old brown tiger tabby cat
Rocket will not miss you
Old brown tiger tabby cat
your spray was real pee-yew
chorus
Old brown tiger tabby cat
now he has moved on
Old brown tiger tabby cat
to the Bridge has gone
verse 10
Old brown tabby tiger cat
we will not forget you
Old brown tabby tiger cat
your scent makes Rocket meeyew.
chorus
Old brown tabby tiger cat
roaming days are over
Old brown tabby tiger cat
now at the Bridge go over
verse 11
New brown tiger tabby cat
over there is freedom
New brown tiger tabby cat
roaming every season
chorus
Old brown tabby tiger cat
roaming days fled by thee
New brown tiger tabby cat
now lives a life of ease please
