Description

A eulogistic folk song from 1986 for a pet cat named Behan.

Lyrics

There was a cat who played a lot
And Behan was his name
He liked to eat
He liked to sleep
And go outside each day.

He liked to run as a kitten
With a gang of little friends
And on summer nights, he brought home mice
And dropped them on the bed.

(chorus)
Born in California
Taken from a cage
He traveled many miles
Ten years free of pain.

As he grew old
His love it showed
He liked a human touch
He went to parks and on a bus
Was scared by all the trucks.

The roof he loved
In grass he hid
And he walked from room to room
He liked to explore and go through open doors
And empty boxes, too. (chorus)

His voice was loud
You could tell by his sound
Exactly what Behan wished
And loose papers
He messed with his paws
To show you he did exist.

Wherever you went
Near you Behan slept
A companion as life flew by
His own personality
Brightened up the poverty
And he'll always live in our minds. (chorus)
