Liner Notes

Lyrics

Chorus:
Don't tell the Cat
We're going on Vacation
Don't tell the Cat
Though I expect somehow he knows,
Don't tell the Cat
We're going on Vacation
Or once again we'll miss our plane
'Cause who knows where he goes.

V1
We planned to fly to Dallas,
Were packed and ready to go,
We turned to give Himself one last scratch,
But not a whisker showed.
V2
He'd pulled his disappearing act,
We went into a flurry
Looking in all the favorite spots
Of our trickster furry.

SO,
Chorus:
Don't tell the Cat
We're going on Vacation
Don't tell the Cat
Though I expect somehow he knows,
Don't tell the Cat
We're going on Vacation
Or once again we'll miss our plane
'Cause who knows where he goes.

That hadn't been the first time
And no doubt won't be the last,
We've found him tucked in a valise,
And hidden behind a mask,
He's even pretended to run away
Causing an all points search,
Then once the plane is on it's way
He'll saunter in with a satisfied smirk.

SO,
Chorus:
Don't tell the Cat
We're going on Vacation
Don't tell the Cat
Though I expect somehow he knows,
Don't tell the Cat
We're going on Vacation
Or once again we'll miss our plane
'Cause only he knows where he goes.

Hahahaha yessss!!! This is spot-on. Mine follows me EVERYWHERE as soon as I put shoes on, or get out my purse, or pack a bag... Lolololol.

Perfect. I also went for a don't-tell-the-pet theme, though yours is decidedly more mischievous.

Our cat has staged a couple of disappearing acts while we're doing a final pre-vacation walkthrough of the house. They know exactly what they're doing... The manipulative little pocket-lions.
