Jeffrey Lewis - When That Really Old Cat Dies (When That Really Old Cat Dies ) lyrics

When's it gonna really happen
Maybe quietly while napping
Finally gonna toss the
But don't act like it's a big surprise
When that really old cat dies

Maybe stretched out in the kitchen
Or curled up by teh televison
Sleeping in a strange position
But don't act like it's a big surprise
When that really old cat dies

It could of happened years ago now
He's super duper old and slow nwo
You've had a bunch of time to know now
So don't act like it's a big surprise
When that really old cat dies

The other do as he oncе did
Now he mostly just ignores the youngstеrs
Kinda crazy that he's even still amongst up
So don't act like it's a big surprise
When that really old cat dies

His legs are getting near to worthless
He only eats the food on the surface
Meows a lot without a purpose
So don't act like it's a big surprise
When that really old cat dies

We hadn't seen him out since morning
They found him in the bathroom corner
I always said that soon he'd be a goner
Yeah I told you so, I really tried
So for you I guess you barely saw him
But for me, for some reason
I cried and cried
The day that really old cat died
