[Intro] G D G [Verse 1]
         G
We had a cat, his name was Bill,

              C                    G
He caught our budgie on the window sill,

         G
One holy day, one Sunday morn,

          D                    G
Left only feathers on our back lawn.
[Verse 2]
       G
Oh no, Bill, you can't do that,

          C                 G
You silly pussy, you stupid cat.

               G
So we took him down, our family pet,

                D                     G
And we left his balls with the family vet.
[Interlude]
C   G   D   G
  (Cat yowling)
[Verse 3]
                    G
Well, the very next day he packed his bags,

             C                     G
Left all his Penthouse and Playboy mags.

             G
How could we do it to the family pet,

                 D                     G
Go and leave his balls with the family vet.
[Interlude] C G D G [Verse 4]
                G
Well, we get no postcards, no telephone calls,

                C                       G
He's out in the bush somewhere, with no balls.

           G
And he's obsessed with sweet revenge,

               D                     G
So he eats our parrots and our fairy wrens.
[Chorus]
               C                 G
Yes, he's mortified and we all regret,

                 D                     G
That we left his balls with the family vet.

               C                 G
Yes, he's mortified and we all regret,

                 D                     G
That we left his balls with the family vet.
[Bridge]
                C                   G
Now he's highly sought by the feral choir,

                  D                   G
For his new found talent to sing much higher,

            C               G
Has no more time for female friends,

         D                 G
Just for parrots and fairy wrens.
[Verse 5]
                   G
No sense of humour,   ex-family pet,

           C                   G
It still hurts, he can't forget.

           G
He's still angry, he's still upset,

                 D                     G
That we left his balls with the family vet.
[Chorus]
               C                 G
Yes, he's mortified and we all regret,

                 D                     G
That we left his balls with the family vet.

               C                 G
Yes, he's mortified and we all regret,

                 D                     C G
That we left his balls with the family vet.
