         It was Della and a dealer and a dog named Jake,
         And a cat named Kalamazoo,
         Left the city in a pickup truck.
         Gonna make some dreams come true.
         
         Yeah, they rolled out west where the wild sun sets,
         And the coyote bays at the moon.
         Della and a dealer and a dog named Jake,
         And a cat named Kalamazoo.
         
         If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell,
         About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well.
         But the cat was cool,
         And he never said a mumblin' word.

               .
               Down Tucson way there's a small cafe,
               Where they play a little cowboy tune.
               And the guitar picker was a friend of mine,
               By the name of Randy Boone.
               
               Yeah, Randy played her a sweet love song,
               And Della got a fire in her eye.
               The Dealer had a knife and the dog had a gun,
               And the cat had a shot of rye.
               
               If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell,
               About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well.
               But the cat was cool,
               And he never said a mumblin' word.

   I think it looks like a Burmese- my mum had one that used to push the handle down on the kitchen door whilst the dog pushed the door- so that they could find something to eat.

   Oh my gosh, that made my morning.  What a resourceful and determined little kitty.  I love the swinging to and fro on the freezer door.  Thanks for the laughs, para.

      Yeah, the Dealer was a killer; he was evil and mean,
      And he was jealous of the fire in her eyes.
      He snorted his coke through a century note,
      And he swore that Boone would die.
      
      And the stage was set when the lights went out,
      There was death in Tucson town.
      Two shadows ran for the bar back door,
      But one stayed on the ground.
      
      If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell,
      About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well.
      But the cat was cool,
      And he never said a mumblin' word.

   Two shadows ran from the bar that night,
   And a dog and a cat ran too.
   And the tires got hot on the pickup truck,
   As down the road they flew.
   
   It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake,
   And a cat named Kalamazoo.
   Left Tucson in a pickup truck.
   Gonna make some dreams come true.
   
   Yeah, yeah, yeah.
   
   If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell,
   About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well.
   But the cat was cool,
   And he never said a mumblin' word.
   
   To fade.
