Tom Paxton - King of the Cat Cafe lyrics

Everyone wants to sit with Huey King of the Cat Cafe Just to be recognized by Huey 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 Huey King of the Cat Cafe All of the poets look for Huey 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 Is enough to send them happily away From the King of the Cat Cafe Lovers seek the sight of Huey Telling their tales of woe Sitting on either side of Huey They all but come to blows Pounding their fists on Huey's table Rattling the poster of Betty Grable They reconcile and slip away From the King of the Cat Cafe Politicians have lunch with Huey Seeing to the public weal Having their pictures taken with Huey Is sure to increase their appeal Always welcome at the corner table Personal friends of Betty Grable Always a compliment to pay To the King of the Cat Cafe Huey's table is the noisiest place In all of the Cat Cafe Everyone wants to catch his eye Read him a new screenplay Huey the perfect patron saint Huey made from wax and paint Sends them happily on their way King of the Cat Cafe
