KING OF THE CAT CAFE (Tom Paxton) Everyone wants to sit with Huwey, King of the Cat Café Just to be recognised by Huwey Is enough to make one's day He never moves from his corner table Under the poster of Betty Grable Nothing escapes the notice of Huwey King of the Cat Café All of the poets look for Huwey Soon as they come to town He never says he likes their poems But he never puts them down Fifteen minutes at the corner table Under the poster of Betty Grable It's enough to send them happily away From the King of the Cat Café Lovers seek the sight of Huwey Telling their tales of woe Sitting on either side of Huwey They all but come to blows Pounding their fists on Hewey's table Rattling the poster of Betty Grable They reconcile and slip away From the King of the Cat Café Politicians have lunch with Huwey Seeing to the public (wheel?) Having their pictures taken with Huwey Is sure to increase their appeal Always welcome at the corner table Personal friends of Betty Grable Always a compliment of (fate?) At the King of the Cat Café Huwey's table is the noisiest place In all of the Cat Café Everyone wants to catch his eye Read him a new screen-play Huwey the perfect patron saint Huwey made from wax and paint Sends them happily on their way King of the Cat Café Couple of problems with verse4, someone may be able to help with that. I have a copy of Saturday Night on vinyl. Issued in UK the album cover was different to US issue.
