Lyrics Me an My Friend the Cat - Loudon Wainwright III

Me an My Friend the Cat

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
