China Cat Sunflower
Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Jerry Garcia

Published By; Ice Nine Publishing, Inc. (ASCAP)


Look for a while at the China Cat Sunflower
proud-walking jingle in the midnight sun
Copper-dome bodhi drip a silver kimono
like a crazy-quilt star gown
through a dream night wind


Chorus
China cat
China cat
China cat
China cat


Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandana
like a one-eyed Cheshire
like a diamond-eyed jack
A leaf of all colors plays
a golden string fiddle
to a double-e waterfall over my back


[chorus]


Comic book colors on a violin river
crying Leonardo words
from out a silk trombone
I rang a silent bell
beneath a shower of pearls
in the eagle winged palace
of the queen Chinee


[chorus]
