Martin Kelly - Those Cat Christmas Blues Lyrics

It's coming up on Christmas
And my cat has got the blues
I said it's comin' up on Christmas
And my cat has got the blues
Cause I hand-made all my gifts this year
And no boxes I did use

Usually the gifts I give come in boxes
And they're purchased from a store
I said usually the gifts I give come in boxes
And they're purchased from a store
And after the gifts are taken out of those boxes
My cat sits in them on the floor

But this year I got into crafting
And I learned how to crochet
Oh, this year I got into crafting
And I learned how to crochet
So nobody's getting anything from the store
They're all just getting something I made

And what this means is, mama
That no boxes will be used
Only scotch tape, wrapping paper, and ribbon
No, no boxes I do use
Which means there's nothing under the tree for my cat to sit inside
So now my kitty's got those Christmas Cat blues

On Christmas Eve I woke up and I realized
I forgot to make something for my wife
Oh no! I woke up and I realized
I forgot to make something for my wife
And it's too late to crochet something now
No sir, I simply just don't got the time

But the good thing that comes from this
Is I have to drive down to the store
Oh so I'll have a Christmas gift for my baby
I have to run out to the store
Which means my cat will be happy again
Because a box will soon be under the tree once more

And now we're at the end of the song
And I have some advice for you
And now we're at the end of the song
And I have some advice for you
Always have one gift in a box under the tree
So your cat won't have those Cat Christmas blues

Merry Christmas, kitty
Enjoy your new box
