Stray Cat Strut

Straycats

(Brian Setzer, Arista, 1981)

Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh

Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence
Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent
I'm flat broke but I don't care
I strut right by with my tail in the air

Stray cat strut I'm a (lady's cat)
I'm a feline Casanova hey (man that's sad)
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
Get my dinner from a garbage can

(Yeah--, don't cross my path!)

I don't bother chasing mice around
I slink down the alley, looking for a fight
Howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night

Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry
Wild stray cat you're a real gone guy
I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I got cat class, and I got cat style

I don't bother chasing mice around
I slink down the alley, looking for a fight
Howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night

Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry
Wild stray cat you're a real gone guy
I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I got cat class, and I got cat style
