Lyrics
Cat That Walked From Shelbyville
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
For today I'll smoke a cigar
For today I'll play your guitar
For today I'll be real nice
For today I'll cut you thrice
For today I'll cup your eyes
For today make no disguise
There's a blanket for your doctor
There's a full-fledged man owar
There's an ink spot on your jersey
And scuff marks on your floor
For today you smoked a cigar
For today you felt real cool
For today you wore a blue shirt
For today you wore some old brown shoes
