Jethro Tull lyrics : "Old Black Cat"

My old black cat passed away this morning
He never knew what a hard day was.
Woke up late and danced on tin roofs.

If questioned ?Why?? ? answered, ?Just because.?

He never spoke much, preferring silence:

eight lost lives was all he had.
Occasionally sneaked some Sunday dinner.
He wasn't good and he wasn't bad.


My old black cat wasn't much of a looker.
You could pass him by ? just a quiet shadow.

Got pushed around by all the other little guys.
Didn't seem to mind much ? just the way life goes.


Padded about in furry slippers.
Didn't make any special friends.
He played it cool with wide-eyed innocence,

Receiving gladly what the good Lord sends.

Forgot to give his Christmas present.

Black cat collar, nice and new.
Thought he'd make it through to New Year.
I guess this song will have to do.


My old black cat???.
Old black cat????
