The Cat in the Hat was like a Rollin Stone (Temptations)

(Spoken Intro over slow bass groove) It was a cold, wet day... Nothing to do... Mom was gone... Just me, my sister... And then... A knock at the door. (Bass line enters) (Verse 1) Rain on the window, gray in the sky, We were sittin' there wonderin' why. No games to play, no place to roam, Just two little kids all alone at home. The fish in the bowl kept shakin' his head, "Stay outta trouble!" was all he said. Then the door swung open, what did we see? A tall striped hat lookin' right at me. (Chorus) The Cat in the Hat was a rollin stone Wherever he laid his hat, was his home The Cat in the Hat came strollin' in, Big red bow and a crazy grin. Thing One, Thing Two, runnin' wild and free, Like a storm blowin' through our family tree. Ohhh... The Cat in the Hat came tearin' around, Leaves and kites and red boxes all over the ground. (Verse 2) He balanced a cup and a cake and a rake, A toy ship, a fish, and a chocolate shake. The fish yelled, "Stop! This isn't right!" But the Cat just danced with delight. Round and round that living room floor, Making more trouble than ever before. Then from that hat came Thing One and Two, And that's when the madness really flew. (Chorus) The Cat in the Hat was a rollin stone Wherever he laid his hat, was his Home The Cat in the Hat came strollin' in, Big red bow and a crazy grin. Thing One, Thing Two, runnin' wild and free, Like a storm blowin' through our family tree. Ohhh... The Cat in the Hat came tearin' around, Leaves and kites and red boxes all over the ground. (Bridge) The fish kept shoutin', "You'd better beware!" But nobody listened, 'Cause fun was in the air. The clock kept tickin', The afternoon sped, And all of a sudden, We heard Mom's tread. (Breakdown) (Spoken) Wait a minute... Mom's coming home. Look at this room. Look at this mess. What's he gonna do now? (Verse 3) The Cat got serious for the very first time, Pulled out a machine that worked just fine. Whirrin' and buzzin', fast as can be, Cleaned every speck for the fish and me. Books on the shelf, Rugs on the floor, Everything looked just like before. Then he waved goodbye with a wink and a smile, And vanished away in Cat-in-the-Hat style. (Final Chorus) (Chorus) The Cat in the Hat was a rollin stone Wherever he laid his hat, was his home The Cat in the Hat came strollin' in, Big red bow and a crazy grin. Thing One, Thing Two, runnin' wild and free, Like a storm blowin' through our family tree. Ohhh... The Cat in the Hat came tearin' around, Leaves and kites and red boxes all over the ground. (Outro - Spoken over fading groove) And when Mom got home... Everything looked perfect. But sometimes... When it rains... I still hear that knock at the door...
