Cathy
by Alice Matthews
Sung to the tune of
"Windy" by The Association
"Windy" hit the top of America's pop charts
in early July 1967 and remained there for nearly the entire month. Later, it
was nominated for a Grammy Award as best contemporary group performance, but
lost out to The Fifth Dimension's "Up, Up and Away". |

Verse 1
Just when we thought we knew all the
family
Had met all the folks from heck to L A
Who came along and set our world spinning
Brightened our lives and blew us away
Everyone knows it’s Cathy. |

Chorus
And Cathy has flashing eyes
Soared into our family skies
On the tail of Hale Bopp
Bopp a Bopp, Bopp, Bopp

Verse 2
Her NRA card is tucked in her wallet,
And on her nightstand is Sportswoman’s World.
If you should shrink at the thought of her hobbies,
Who’s going to tell you, “You’re such a girl”?
Everyone knows its Cathy |

|
Verse 3
Cathy’s employed now at Seven Feathers.
The slots and the tables have come to an end.
But who leaves on payday from the casino
A smile on her face and money to spend?
Everyone knows it’s Cathy. |

Verse
4
Cathy’s a master of aggravation.
Her pinochle skill is nearly sublime.
Who is the girl who has enough vigor
To want to play both these games at one time?
Everyone knows it’s Cathy |

Verse 5
We don’t understand how you came to live here,
But we’re more than glad that’s what you chose to do.
As you might have guessed now the purpose of our song
Is just to say, “Happy Birthday to You…” |
