Lyrics
Alley Cat
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She goes on the prowl each night
Like an alley cat
Looking for some new delight
Like an alley cat
He can't trust her out of sight
There's no doubt of that
'Cause shee just don't know wrong from right
Like an alley cat
Shee meets them
And loves them
She leaves them
Like that Catsanova does
That's no way to treat a pal
He should tell her: Scat!
Aren't you sorry for that guy
And his alley cat?
She meets them
She loves them
She leaves them
Like that "Catsanova" does
She goes on the prowl each night
Like an alley cat
Looking for some new delight
Like an alley cat
Just looking for some new delight
Like an alley cat
Like some alley cat
