The cat in the hat came back,
wrecked a lot of havoc on the way,
always had a smile and a reason to pretend.
But their world,
has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep,
but to dream.

The cat came back
The very next day
The cat came back
And he wouldn't stay away
Come on kitty Come on kitty
Come on kitty But the cat came back
I remember that, did you an Dad make that up?
Not me, must've been Dad. Lol I think I inherited that trait though. Jackson has so many little songs I couldn't tell you them all if I tried.
that was not made up by any of us. I believe it's a kid's song.
A-ha. Funny the nonsense kids will come up with.
The lyrics that I got the original quote from on this post are quite strange themselves:
This here is the place I will be staying.
There isn’t a number, you can call the pay phone.
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time.
If I don’t pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more.
If I don’t pick up, pick up...
The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil.
Call me when you try to wake her up.
Call me when you try to wake her up.
Call me when you try to wake her up.
There are scratches all around the coin slot
Like a heartbeat, baby trying to wake up.
But this machine can only swallow money,
It can’t lay a patch by computer design.
It’s just a lot of stupid, stupid signs.
Tell her,
Tell her she can kiss my ass,
Then laugh and say that you were only kidding.
That way she’ll know that
It’s really, really, really, really me.
(chorus)
Baby, instant soup doesn’t really grab me.
Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial.
A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some nescafe and ice,
A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading from doctor seuss;
(chorus)
The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way,
Always had a smile and a reason to pretend.
But their world has flat backgrounds and little
Need to sleep but to dream.
The sidewinder sleeps on his back.
(chorus & improv, fade)
Here's the video, you can hear what the song sounds like.
