Loudon Wainwright III
That Cat
I got places to go, I got people to see
I got things I gotta do
You're the girl I’m takin' along
You know how I like you
So let's on your socks and put on your shoes
Put on your coat and your hat
I’m takin' your for a ride outsidey
I know how you like that
But fist of all we gotta go to the bank
We gotta wait in line for loot
All keyed up, cued up, and uptight
But that teller he thinks your cut
Eventually we gonna get some cash
And then we'll have the means
Push open the door, it's back outsidey
We're gonna buy some thangs
Second of all we go to the store
We gotta get some food for lunch
Potatoes and beans, juice and milk
And cookies, I got a hunch
The lady cashier, she knows us both
But she's especially fond of you
Yet you remain somewhat aloof
What are you gonna do?
Well it's back outside, so put you hat back on
We gotta cover up them curls
What do you say we go to the park?
They got dogs and birds and squirrels
Sit in this swing - it's the perfect thing
You could sway here all day long
But it’s a little bit late and you’re a little bit tired
It's time to head back home
Here we go, let’s stroll on home
Let's roll on down the road
You gotta keep pushin' 'cause the grocery bag
Is a mighty heavy load
Pretty soon we’ll be back home
Mommy is waiting there
Take off that coat, take off that hat
Plop down in that high chair
I got places to go, I got people to see
I got things I gotta do
You're the girl I'm takin' along
You know how I like you
So let's on your socks and put on your shoes
Put on your coat and your hat
I'm takin' your for a ride outsidey
I know how you like that
