Yusuf / Cat Stevens - Cat & the dog trap lyrics

Cat's in the yard Fancy free Dog barges 'round, says "You can't catch me! No siree."

Out runs the man Cat gets the can There was a time When I was bolder I'd chase the heels Of any stranger About to learn About to learn Cat's In a cage Chained to a stone Empty Bowl by his side Just an old fish bone Dreams of home There was a time A long way back When I would fall For any dog trap About to learn About to learn About to learn About to learn
