Jehosaphat the mongrel cat
Jumped off the roof today
Some say he fell but I could tell
(or )
He did himself away
Well his eyes weren't bright
Like they were the night
We played checkers on the train
well god bless his soul he was a tootsie roll
but hes a dead cat just the same....
Thats the verse...all the chords are the same for each one...
We are living in the future
I tell you how I know
I read it in the paper
fifteen years ago
We're all driving rocket ships
and talking with our minds
wearin turquois jewelery
And standin in soup lines
Standin in soup lines
