I guess you are the right audience for this one. I don't have the tune, or I would have brought out the fiddle and posted a recording...

Well, honestly, I would not have posted a recording, for no matter how much I love playing the fiddle, I can't do it without sounding too much like one of the field lions you are so happy to blast away.

I will let you know when my playing improves!

Throw Your Cat Away

Your cat thinks he's worth a million bucks,
But he's not even worth five cents,
A can of catfood costs more than that
So throw your cat away.

cho: Throw our cat away,
Drop him in the trash,
You know he isn't worth five cents total,
So throw your cat away.

Your cat has fleas but that is all,
He hasn't got a brain,
He cannot bark or think or spell
So throw your cat away.

Throw your cat away,
He was just a bad investment,
Nobody wants him not even you,
So throw your cat away.

He wrecks the couch,
He scratches your friends,
He refuses to catch a mouse.
He's sure not expecting it,
so grab him by the tail
And throw your cat away.

O throw your cat away,
Flush him down the toilet,
Don't spend another dime to mask his smell,
Just throw your cat away.

He won't come when you call him,
He won't eat his food,
He just gags up his fur.
He barfs in the corner and looks real smug,
So throw your cat away.

O throw your cat away,
Boot him down the steps.
Give all his toys to your faithful dog
And throw your cat away.

He climbs up things he can't get down,
He messes up your cat box.
He has nine lives and that's too many,
So throw your cat away.

O throw your cat away,
Don't give him the time to pack.
He's not worth the fur he's printed on,
So throw your cat away.

O throw your cat away,
It's very easy for you to do.
Just open the garbage and dump him in
And throw your cat away.

AURTHER!!!!!!!! AURTHER!!!!!!!!!!ENCORE ,ENCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GREAT APPLAUSE(from the cheap seats of course)

The value of cats is recognized throughout the world.

Mart, it is never too late to unleash the prodigy within! I tried it with the melody of "CAT's in the Cradle" by CAT Stevens...didn't work. Let us know when the fiddle is tuned.

Dang!!!!Marty might hate the little bastards more than I,,,,Nice work!Clay

Clay, credit where credit is due, you don't have to hate them to make a copy/paste! But if you ever see a record with "Jan Hobson and Her Bad Review" I think you ought to buy it!

I found the text on a website with "traditional fiddle music", looking for sheet music. There were some other cat songs on the site as well, but none that would entertain your lot.

I wonder if I can combine my interests and use the fiddle as a predator call? It sure sounds like one sometimes...
