Where'd the kitty come from, and where'd the kitty go

The kitty's always hungry, I told the kitty no

So the kitty had to ramble, she had to roam

Where'd the kitty come from, where did the kitty go

Now Hector was the son of a mountain lion

She heard him crying, she followed him in

And she became the apple of my eye

But when Hector couldn't love her

My Daykitty said goodbye

She belonged to another family up the street

I knew they couldn't love her even half as much as I

I love the kitty in the morning

Love her every night

The day she left me, I hung my head and cried

Where'd the kitty come from, and where'd the kitty go

The kitty's always hungry, I told the kitty no

Did she have to ramble, did she have to roam

Where'd she come from, where did the kitty go

You know she returned the very next day

We took her to the doctor, the doctor did say

The kitty weren't a woman

No the kitty was a man

Took him home, he ate a whole can

Now he and Hector are friends

I think he's gonna stay

I think he really loves us, all he wanna do is play

And you should see him sleeping in my lovers arms

I know you'd wanna keep him

But Daykitty is ours

Now where'd the kitty come from, and where'd the kitty

go

The kitty's always hungry, I told the kitty no

So the kitty had to ramble, the kitty had to roam

Where'd the kitty come from, where did the kitty go

... Wherever he came from, now he's got a home

If he ever leaves again, I'll be home
