KITTY'S BACK 
Live 05 Dec 1975 version
Catlong sighs holding Kitty's black tooth
She left to marry some top cat, ain't that the cold truth
There hasn't been a tally since Sally left the alley
Since Kitty left with Big Pretty things have got pretty thin
Yes, baby, yes they have
It's tight on this fence since them young dudes are musclin' in
Jack Knife sighs 'cause baby's in a bundle
She goes running nightly, lightly through the jungle
And them tin cans are exploding out in the ninety-degree heat
Cat somehow lost his Kitty down on Bleecker Street
It's a sad, sad story, but it's true
The Cat just shrugs his shoulders, he sits back and sighs
Oh, oh, oh, oh, what can I do?
Yeah, what can I do?
Whoa, oh, oh, what can I do?
Yeah, what can I do?
Kitty's back
[Clarence Clemons:] Kitty's back
Kitty's back
All right!
All right, all right, all right, all right
Catlong lies back bent on a trash can
Flashing lights cut the night, dude in white says he's the man
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
All night long
Oh, oh!
[Spoken:] Clarence! Steve! I think, I think she got smuggled in. All right? Who
did it? Who? It wasn't you... It wasn't? Somebody smuggled her in tonight. I think it
was... I think it was... Ed Sciaky. So it was, got this feeling inside me, it's possible. It
was that mysterious Washington phantom. I can see him, just in the night. Hey, Clarence! Do you
like Ed Sciaky? Ed Sciaky goes like this when he sneaks in with his girlfriend. Ed Sciaky, Ed
Sciaky at work! Let's do it one more time, I'll do it one more time for you folks that
missed it the first time. Thank you.
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, 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)
Whoa!
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 in town (oh, oh, all right)
Whoa, oh, Kitty's back (here she comes, now)
Kitty's back in town (oh, oh, all right)
Kitty, yeah (here she comes, now)
Kitty's back (oh, oh, all right)
Cat knows his Kitty's been untrue
And 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
Yeah, what can I do?
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, what can I do?
Whoa, what can I do?
Take it, band!
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, all right, oh, it's all right)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, all right, oh, it's all right)
Oh, yeah, a little bit louder
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, all right, oh, it's all right)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, all right, oh, it's all right)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, all right, oh, it's all right)
That's all right, boys
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, all right, oh, it's all right)
Big Man!
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, all right, oh, it's all right)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, all right, oh, it's all right)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, all right, oh, it's all right)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, all right, oh, it's all right)
Bring it up!
[Spoken outro:] Clarence Clemons! Roy Bittan!
