Lyrics

Cat-o'-Nine-Tails

[Verse 1]

Cat-o-nine-tails

Cat-o-nine lives

Little pussy purrs, hold her tight and she's yours

[Chorus]

Think I'm allergic and I don't know why

Think I'm allergic and it makes me cry

[Verse 2]

You're scratchin' me baby

Right down to my heart

Now claw the couch now that we're apart

[Chorus]

Think I'm allergic and I don't know why

Think I'm allergic and it makes me cry

[Verse 3]

I love you baby

And I don't mean to hound

But they're chasin' my heart

Now that you're not around

[Chorus]

Think I'm allergic and I don't know why

Think I'm allergic and it makes me cry

[Outro]

Cat-o-nine tails
