lyrics

One of my cats is dying again
yeah another one
the brother of that other one
The first one he died
of old age in his sleep
then his brother got bit up
by wild dogs in the street
So he’s hanging on
but not doing too good
I can’t put him down
but I probably should
He’s been such a good friend
to me all of these years
Now he’s at his end
and he’s damp with my tears
I’m not certain how
he should go on his way
How I’ll gently dispatch him
Oh I wish he could stay
but he’s nearly expired
not at all feeling well
so it’s time to let go
and send him off to hell
Oh I guess I should mention
he was terribly bad
Just a son of a bitch
The worst cat that I've had
He was mean, he was cruel
but was nicest to me
so I've always preferred him
kept him fed and carefree
He would beat on the mice
He would stalk all the birds
Just a murderous monster
It's hard to put into words
But he’d sit on my lap
and he'd purr at my touch
Now I sound like a sap
but I've loved him so much
and now he’s damned to Hell
where he’ll suffer torment
I sure wish my cat could
feel remorse and repent
but it just isn’t in him
he’s a horrible beast
so he’s headed to Hell where one day together we’ll be
in Hell, reunited
my kitty and me
