King of the Cat Cafe


Capo 2nd fret G C G Everyone wants to sit with Huey, D G King of the Cat Cafe. C G Just to be recognized by Huey A7 D Is enough to make one's day. C G He never moves from his corner table C G Under the poster of Betty Grable. C G Nothing escapes the notice of Huey, D G 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.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1976)
