KITTY'S BACK

Live 20 Mar 2008 version

[Spoken intro:] All right, let's go!

Catlong sighs holding Kitty's black tooth
She left to marry some
[Crowd:] Top cat
Ain't it the cold truth
And there hasn't been a tally since Sally left the alley
Since Kitty left with Big Pretty things have got pretty thin
It's tight on this fence since them young dudes are muscling in

Jack Knife cries 'cause baby's in a bundle
She goes running nightly, lightly through the jungle
Them tin cans are exploding out in the ninety-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
Oh, what can I do?
Oh, oh, what can I do?
Oh, what can I do?
Whoa, oh, what can I do?
Say it!

Catlong lies back bent on a trash can
Flashing lights cut the night, dude in white says he's the man
Well, you better learn to move fast when you're young or you're not long around
Cat somehow lost his Kitty down in the city pound
Get right, get tight, get down

Hey!
Who's that coming down the end of the alley?
I think I hear somebody back there!
Who's that coming down the end of the alley?
She's been gone so long
[chuckles]
Yeah, here she comes, here she comes
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Here she comes, (here she comes)
Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes, here she comes, here she comes, here she comes,
here she comes, here she comes, here she comes
Max!
Kitty's back in town (here she comes, now)
Kitty's back (oh, oh, all right)
Kitty's back in town (here she comes, now)
Kitty's back (oh, oh, all right)
Kitty's back in town (here she comes, now)
Kitty's back (oh, oh, all right)
Kitty's back in town (here she comes, now)
Kitty's back (oh, oh, all right)

Cat knows his Kitty's been untrue
That she left him for a city dude
But she's so soft, she's so blue
When he looks into her eyes
He just sits back and sighs
Oh, what can I do?
Oh, oh, what can I do?
Oh, what can I do?
Oh, oh, what can I do?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, say it's all right
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, say it's all right
Little help, now!
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Yeah, everybody, now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Yeah, everybody, now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, say it's all right
'Eah, everybody, now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Come on, C!
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Yeah, everybody, now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Yeah, everybody, now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Say it, everybody, now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Come on, boys!
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Yeah, everybody, now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
Yeah, everybody, now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, well, it's all right)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right)
