I tried to sleep out on the roof
But my emotions left.
I tried to sweep out all the ruins
That my emotions left.
Shave your cat and make a sweater.
Take your cap, but leave my sweater.
Take my cat and leave your sweater.
Take your cap and leave my sweater.
Take your 'can't believe my sweater'.
Take your cap but leave my sweater.
Take your Capalene sweater.
Take your cap but leave my sweater.
Take your Catalina sweater.
Take your cap and leave my sweater.
Take your Catholic nice weather.
Take your cap and leave my sweater.
Take your cashmere, my sweater
Take your cap and leave my sweater.
Take your cat and leave mice wetter.
Take your cap and leave my sweater.
Take your cat and leave my sweater!
Take your cap and leave my sweater!
Take your cat beneath my sweater.
Take your cap and leave my sweater.
Take your cat hair off my sweater.
Take your cap but leave my sweater.
Take your cat litter and his sweater.
Take your cap and leave my sweater.
Take your cat who ate my sweater.
Take your cap but leave my sweater.
Take your cat, but leave my sweater.
Take your cap, but leave my sweater.
Editor's note: There is a disagreement as to whether the word is "cat" or "cap"; I've checked various lyrics sites and they have either word. I'm gonna go with cap, since that seems to make sense in the context of this line...but until I see the liner notes of the album (or Mr. Urban enunciates this line), I'm leaving it this way.
Take your cat, he ate my sweater.
Take your cap and leave my sweater.
Take your cot and leave my sweater.
Take your cap and leave my sweater.
Take your cotton, leave my sweater.
Take your cap and leave my sweater.
Take your records, take your freedom
Take your cat 'cuz I won't feed him.
Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em.
You'll thank me.
You'll think of me.
And take your hat and leave my sweater
And take your cap and leave my sweater
But you're stinky
But you'll think of me
In this nice weather
And leave my sweater
Take your Captain Leave, I Sweather!
Take your cap and leave my sweater
Take your cap and leave, I swear.
Take you cap and leave my sweater.
Take your cap but leave my sweater
Take your cap and leave my sweater
Take your cat and leave, I swear
Take your cap and leave my sweater.
We have nothing left to wear, though.
We have nothing left to weather.
