Catlong sighs, holdin' Kitty's black tooth

She left to marry some top cat, ain't it the cold truth?

And there hasn't been a tally since Sally left the alley

Since Sally left with Big Pretty, things have got pretty thin

It's tight on this fence since them young dudes are musclin' in Jack Knife cries 'cause Baby's in a bundle

She goes runnin' nightly, lightly through the jungle

And them tin cans are explodin' out of the 90-degree heat

Cat somehow lost his baby down on Bleecker Street

It's sad but it sure is true

Cat shrugs his shoulders, sits back and sighs Catlong lies back-bent on a trash can

Flashin' lights that cut the night, dude in the white says he's the man

Well, you better move fast when you're young, or you're not around

Cat somehow lost his Kitty in the city pound

So get right, get tight, get down

Who's that down at the end of the alley? She's been gone so long

Here she comes, here she comes

Here she comes, here she comes Kitty's back in town, here she comes now

Kitty's back in town

Cat knows Kitty's been untrue and that she left him for a city dude

Well, she's so soft, she's so blue

When he looks into her eyes, he just sits back and sighs

Ooh, what can I do, ooh, what can I do?

Ooh, what can I do, ooh, what can I do? Alright

Ooh alright, ooh alright

Ooh alright, ooh alright
