Stray Cat Blues

[Intro]

Ah... hey

Yeah, got some tail

[Verse 1]

I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs

I know you're no scare-eyed honey

There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs, but

It's no hanging matter

It's no capital crime

[Verse 2]

I can see that you're fifteen years old

No, I don't want your I.D

And I can see that you're so far from home, but

That's no hanging matter

It's no capital crime

[Chorus]

Oh, yeah, you're a strange stray cat

Oh, yeah, don't you scratch like that

Oh, yeah, you're a strange stray cat

I bet, bet your mama don't know you scream like that

I bet your mother don't know you do spit like that

[Verse 3]

You look so weird, and you're so far from home

But you don't really miss your mother

You look so scared, I'm not no mad-brained bear

But, but it's no hanging matter

It's no capital crime

[Chorus]

Oh, yeah

Woo!

I bet your mama don't know that you scratch like that

I bet she don't know you can bite like that

[Verse 4]

You say you got a friend that she's wilder than you

Why don't you bring her upstairs?

If she's so wild, then she can join in too

It's no hanging matter, huh

It's no capital crime

[Chorus]

Oh, yeah, you're a strange stray cat

Oh, yeah, don't you scratch like that

Oh, yeah, you're a strange stray cat

I bet your mama don't know you can bite like that

I'll bet she never saw you scratch my back

[Outro]

Chow, bum ba bum bum, chow, bum ba bum bum bow, bum ba bum bum bow…
