Me & My Kitties

 (with apologies to John Philips)

Me and my kitties went riding down

South Hudson Valley, West New York bound

We stopped over in Ithacay

That being the point just about halfway

And you know it was the hottest part of the day

I took the horses up to the stall

Went to the bar-room, ordered drinks for all

Three days in the saddle, you know my body hurt

It being summer, I took off my shirt

And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt

West New York doggies, they's all around

With kibbles and money, they're loaded down

So soon after pay day, you know it seemed a shame

You know my kitties, they start a friendly game

High-Low Jacks and the winner take the hand

My kitties start winning, doggies got sore

One of them called them, and then two more

Accused them of cheating, well no it couldn't be

I know my kitties, they’re as honest as me

And I'm as honest as a Sedgwick man can be

One of them doggies, he starts to growl

Hilo jumped right up, smacked him in the jowls

Kona clawed another, never seen her so bold

Kitties grabbed the kibbles, and I grabbed the gold

And we high-tailed it down to Mexico

Now I love those doggies, God rest their soul

I love my kitties, but they don’t care for gold

They taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know

Taught me so well, I pitched that gold

And we chowed down on kibbles by the side of the road
