Louis the Cat lyrics

We didn't know why we were living

We were hanging on by two strings

Till you came into our life and

You changed our blues and our minds

It's the way we had always imagined it would feel

Owning a cat was really a new big deal

Then suddenly one night we called and you didn't answer

And to our surprise we found that you were gone

For days we searched in lanes that you once roamed

Through a sweet hope that someday you'll come home

For nine months you gave us only pleasure

From the start we knew you were a treasure

You ate, you slept, you sprayed

Our little short-haired marmalade

We're almost too sad to mention your name

Our eye teeth we'd give to see you again

Then suddenly one night we called and you didn't answer

And to our surprise we found that you were gone

For days we searched in lanes that you once roamed

Through a sweet hope that someday you'll come home
