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 handmade all my gifts this year
And no boxes did I 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 do I 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

(Go, Johnny, go)
(Bop, bobcat, bop)

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 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
To repeat, we’re now 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
Those cat Christmas blues

Merry Christmas, kitty.
Enjoy your new box
