Little Bennie had a cat that they wouldn't let him keep

So he put her up for sale at a price he thought was cheap

He took her to a neighbor to ask him for advice

He said, "Leave the kitty here. She can help me with the mice."



But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away

She was sitting on the porch the very next day

The cat came back, she didn't want to roam

The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.



Then Bennie met a man who was driving way out West

He would take the cat along as a special honored guest

The steering wheel was wobbly, he drove into a tree

The car was just a total wreck as anyone could see



But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away

She was sitting on the porch the very next day

The cat came back, she didn't want to roam

The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.



So Bennie bought a gun from the Human Cannonball

He put the cat inside with Tri-Nitro Toluol

When he pulled the trigger, the cannon made a roar

The neighbors all surrendered 'cause they thought it was a war



But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away

She was sitting on the porch the very next day

The cat came back, she didn't want to roam

The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.



Then Bennie gave the cat to a man who had a bomb

When he took the cat away, she was acting cool and calm

And then the bomb exploded, it made an awful sound

They searched and searched for ages but the man was never found



But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away

She was sitting on the porch the very next day

The cat came back, she didn't want to roam

The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.
