Ding Dong - Nellie McKay

My cat died and I quickly poured myself some gin
Did she die from old age or was it for my sins?
God I loved her oh so much
Miss her little kitty touch
Does she miss me does she care?
Oh I miss her kitty stare.

Do you have a little time
Would you like to ease my mind
Talk for hours and never stop
Chop your head off
Be a lighter person, brighter person, nicer
But you've heard it all before...


So Ding Dong there's the doorbell!
Hello Man-In-White
He's gonna make you all well
Get you through the night
But hey now you don't feel better
As  you take your fresh bromide
Maybe this man of letters lied


Let me tell you about a
dream I had the other night
You were in it boy, you sure gave me a super fright
I was walking down the street
Downtown by the DMV
You popped out behind a door
It was odd you were on all fours

Do you have some time to spare?
You were
barking at a bear
It said "hey you'd better stop"
Chop your head off
Be a lighter person, brighter person, nicer
But you've heard it all before....

So Ding Dong there's the doorbell!
Hello Man-in-Red!
He's gonna make you all well
Get you into bed.
But hey now you don't feel better as you wake and slowly rise,
Maybe this smooth gent said a lie...


Stick around one minute more
I'm smarter than you think
Do I sound like an old bore?
Oh man, it's just the drink.
I didn't always hit the gin
There were times when I fit in,
They'll never know how much I tried,
Did I tell you my cat died?


Do you have a little time?
Would you like to feel sublime?
Run away and never stop
Chop your head off
Be a lighter person, brighter person, nicer
But you've heard it all before

So Ding Dong there's the doorbell!
Hello Man-in-Black!
He's gonna make you all well
There's no going back
But hey now you don't feel better
As you drift off in the dark
Maybe this Jack The Ripper lied
And you died
