Live 03 Oct 2009 version
Catlong sighs holding Kitty's black tooth
She left to marry some top cat, ain't it the cold truth
There hasn't been a tally since Sally left the alley
Since Kitty left with Big Pretty things have got pretty thin
It's tight on this fence since them young dudes are muscling in
Jack Knife cries 'cause baby's in a bundle
She goes running nightly, lightly through the jungle
Them tin cans are exploding out in the ninety-degree heat
Cat somehow lost his Kitty down on Bleecker Street
It's sad, but it sure is true
Cat shrugs his shoulders, sits back and sighs
Whoa, what can I do?
Whoa, oh, what can I do?
Whoa, what can I do?
Whoa, oh, what can I do?
Catlong lies back bent on a trash can
Flashing lights cut the night, dude in white says he's the man
Well, you better learn to move fast when you're young or you're not long around
Cat somehow lost his Kitty down in the city pound
Get right, get tight, get down
Who's that coming down the end of the alley?
I mean way in the back there!
I mean way, way, way, way, way, way, way up in the back there!
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Here she comes, here she comes
Here she comes, here she comes
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Max!
Kitty's back in town (here she comes, now)
Kitty's back (oh, oh, all right)
Kitty's back in town (here she comes, now)
Kitty's back (oh, oh, all right)
Kitty's back in town (here she comes, now)
Kitty's back (oh, oh, all right)
Kitty's back in town (here she comes, now)
Kitty's back (oh, oh, all right)
Cat knows his Kitty's been untrue
That she left him for a city dude
She's so soft, she's so blue
When he looks into her eyes
He just sits back and sighs
Oh, what can I do?
Oh, oh, what can I do?
Oh, what can I do?
Oh, oh, what can I do?
Come on!
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Yeah, let me hear you, now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Come on, let me hear you, now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Yeah, let me hear you, now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
All right, let's do it!
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Come on, C!
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Yeah, everybody
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Yeah, everybody
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Rock that, man!
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Yeah, everybody, now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Yeah!
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right)
