A CAT NAMED PATRICK FINNEGAN
words and music by Chuck Romanoff

Patrick really is one of the Romanoff family cats. The song is
dedicated to the memory of "Mr. Kitty," the much beloved and very
missed Rowe family cat.

I've got a cat named Patrick Finnegan,
Scritch, scratch, scratchin' at the door.
He wants someone to let him in again,
Then let him out again once more.

He wants to come in. He wants to go out.
I guess he forgot where he was just a minute before.
He wants to come in again. He wants to go out once more.
He's always on the wrong side of the door.

Can you hear him meowing at the front door?
It's OK to leave it open just a crack.
He'll only be staying for a minute or so,
Then diddly bop boppin' out the back.

He can pass up a tasty meal, there's nothing to it.
But when he sees an open door, he's got to go through it.

Trip trap trippin' on his tippy toes...
Munch a little kibble for a snack....
Once around the livingroom and out he goes,
Lollygaggin' on the welcome mat.
