NELLIE MCKAY LYRICS

"Ding Dong"
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 

[chorus]
So ding dong 
There's the doorbell hello man in white 
He's gonna make you all well 
Getcha 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 'bout 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 

[chorus]
So ding dong 
There's the doorbell 
Hello man in red 
He's gonna make you all well 
Getcha into bed 
But hey now
You don't feel better 
As you wake and slowly rise 
Maybe this smooth jet-setter lied 

[instrumental break]

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 

[chorus]
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 tide 
Maybe this jack the ripper lied 
And you died
