about

I loved the way our little town used to be before the change came.

lyrics

Mr. Davis and His Cat
Mr. Davis and his cat were really something special
You could see them everyday at three riding in his Edsel
Down the highway they would ride his cat up on the dashboard
Now and then a stop or two then off they'd go again
Everyone knew Mr. Davis and his little cat

On Mondays they would go downtown to Alpha's hardware store
Talk to Pete and Bob and Bill about the first world war
They'd laugh a bit and yell a lot and sometimes cry some too
But most of all they'd share old times the way old people do
Everyone knew Mr. Davis and his little cat

Tuesday's were the day for food they'd shop three different markets
First they'd go to get canned foods at the Plaza Grocery
Then up they'd walk to the City Market, my how they did like to shop
Hello Ralph, Hello Gladys, they'd say as they bought their milk
Then off they'd go to Purity to buy the freshest meats
Everyone knew Mr. Davis and his little cat

Now Wednesdays were a different day, you know the middle of the week
So nothing much would happen then, they'd both get lots of sleep
Thursdays were a special time, they'd walk to Pioneer Park
They'd watch the Babe Ruth baseball games and cheer the home team on
Mr. Davis and his cat really liked dear Pioneer Park, they stay as late as possible until it go too dark
Yes everyone knew Mr. Davis and his little cat

Fridays were the day they went without eating meat, I don't think his cat liked that, well not so very much
Well Saturdays were a lazy day, hardly anyone had to work
Most folks would have a bath, dress up for a night on the town
But Mr. Davis and his cat weren't ones for doing that
They'd stay at home and watch TV, I think it was Lawrence Welk
Yes everyone knew Mr. Davis and his little cat

Sundays Mr. Davis would go to church and pray, his cat would stay at home, I don't know why it was that way
They'd have an early supper and retire to their beds, the cat would softly purr as Mr. Davis rubber her head
Everyone knew Mr. Davis and his little cat
Yes everyone knew Mr. Davis and his little cat

Mr. Davis and his cat were really something special
I'll always remember them, for you see I bought his Edsel
