Watch the stop
Watch the cat
Watch everybody
Don't trust nobody, don't trust nobody
Stop every living cat
Look right from where you at
Listen, life has got to be fair
Every slick-heeled cat has got to be right
If you walk down the streets with your chick on your arm
The cat's in the block, charming along
Ain't smiling to me this show long
Boy, cats are tough, you've got to watch
You've got to watch it, you better watch it
If you're standing above with your chick for a nip
And a guy with a car says, let's take a trip
And before he gets too far
That's the stuff you've got to watch
If a sharp cat heads it by
That's the cheese you've got to squeeze
If that sharp guy gives your gal the eye
That's the goose you've got to turn loose
When your chick and your diner's well-tel-feed
While you buy the wine you've worked with all your friends
They said, be in time, the cat's run away, boy
That's the stuff, that's the stuff you've got to watch
Watch it!
Watch it, I say!
Get it, Herbie, get it!
That was Mr. Fields, Mr. Fields
When you go to a dance, there's a chick that you swing
When you're starting to dance, hush your mouth, don't say a thing
She might by chance, well, wait and ring
Oh, boy, that's the stuff, that's the stuff, that's the stuff you've got to watch
And just maybe her guy said, we'll talk about it next time


She may jive you and tell you, oh, God, ain't even an awl
But right in your eye, if you get fresh, his fist will fall
Oh, shut up, boy, that's the stuff, that's the stuff you've got to watch
If she's a killer and thrills you, fit to kill you
That's the mush you've got to hush
Let no lip slip, get your head whipped
That's the trash you've got to haze
If she's a killer and thrills you, fit to kill you, that's the mush you've got to haze
Says, take me home at the end of the day
Says, she's alone, you're taking a chance
Before you start to roam, Romeo, haul an ambulance
That's the stuff you've got to haze
Well, hush it
