Me an My Friend the Cat - Loudon Wainwright III

Me and my friend the cat

Into the night we sat

We were sitting at speeds

Known only to few

Incredible distance we travelled us to

If only you’d been there

You’d know what I mean

If only you’d been there

If only you’d seen

For the Ides of March were upon us then

And it’s been a year since I didn’t know when

Me and my friend the cat

Well we talked about this, about that

We were talking in circles

You would never have guessed

That this was the target

And that was the quest

If only you’d been there

You’d know what I mean

If only you’d been there

If only you’d seen

February is over and time marches on

Yesterday, Yesteryear got up and gone

Me and my friend the cat

Well the two of us chewed the fat

We were chewing together

The blubber was bit

It gagged in our throats

Out foamed a fit

If only you’d been there

You’d know what I mean

If only you’d been there

If only you’d seen

Tomorrow was St Patrick’s Day

I’m a layman now, I don’t have to pray
