I bought me a Cat

I was listening to NPR in the car on the way home from lunch with Tay. It was a beautiful day with the windows down and the sunroof open. A song I had never heard came on the radio and I really loved it. So much I came home and googled the lyrics and the same rendition I'd heard just moments before. Its a peculiar song, and must be a rather famous one. Nevertheless, I want to make it available to you: Enjoy!
