Cat man cat man : stay away from my house at night
Prowling around my back door when I'm gone : you know that ain't right
When I come home last night I heard a noise : asked my wife what was that
She said don't be so suspicious : that wasn't a thing but a cat
I've been all over the world : I've taken all kinds of chance
I've never seen a cat : come home in a pair of pants
I'm tired of this jellyroll man : come to my home when I'm out
Know it's the cause of my woman : boys is *necking* about
Reason I call him cat man : he don't [come, go] around in the day
Come around at midnight : steals my cream when I'm away
Tell me a cat got nine lives : honey and I believe that's true
If the cat man is got nine lives : he going to need them when I get through
