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 ladies cat, I'm a feline Casanova hey man that's that.
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man. Get my dinner from a garbage can.
(instrumental)
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
care-free and wild, but I got cat class and I got cat style.
