You may find me, baby
Yeah, this street
With my slippery fists
Knock it like this n
Knock it like that
With my heart in a cage
Tucked up under my hat
Fluttering like a little black bird, yeh
Just seen his furs, pussycat
Got my umbrella up in front, yeah
And over my head
Ready to beat you, baby,
If you don't let me in
Cuz its raining
Cuz its raining,
Baby outside
Well I'm tired and cold and hungry
Been knocked like this an
Knocked like that
Dont see that bad backyard
Alley cat
I want dis little pussy
Baby wants some o dis
And some o dat
Dont treat me, baby, like your
Any old Alley Cat
Alley Cat
Alley Cat
Alley Cat
Dont treat me, baby, like your
Any old Alley Cat
