Stray Cat Blues

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

It's no hanging matter

It's no capital crime

I can see you're just fifteen years old

No, I don't want your I.D

You're so sad 'cause you're so far from home

It's no hanging matter

It's no capital crime

Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat

Oh yeah, scratch my back

Oh yeah

Bet your mama never saw you scratch like that

Bet she never saw you scratch my back

You're still so scared 'cause you're so far from home

Bet you really miss your mother

And I can see you're so scared of home

It's no hanging matter

It's no capital crime

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

And I can see your girlfriend'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

It's no capital crime

Oh yeah, strange stray cat

Oh yeah, scratch my back

Oh yeah

Bet your mama never saw you scratch like that

Bet she never saw you scratch my back
