Down in the valley on a foggy little rock

Stood a pretty little demon blowing his top

Fire in his eyes and smoke from his head

You gotta be real cool to hear the words he said

He said (mumbling/scatting)

That cat was mad!

He had steam in his soul for the one he loved so

He had death on his mind 'cause my demon let him go

He gonna run through the world 'til we understand his pain

Somebody help him get his demon home again

He said (mumbling/scatting)

That cat- that cat was mad!

He made the sky turn green, he made the grass turn red,

He even put pretty hair on Grandma's bald head

He made the moon back up, he even pushed back time

He took the frutti out of tutti, he had the devil drinkin' wine

He said (mumbling/scatting)

That cat-cat was mad!

This demon felt good, 'cause he finally got across,

To the crazy little demon that the woman still the boss

Down in the valley on the foggy little rock

You can still hear the demon blowing his top

He said (mumbling/scatting)

That cat- that cat was mad!

He pushed back, brought in afternoon,

He even made Leap Year jump over the moon,

He took the Fourth of july and put it in May

He took this morning for a drive yesterday

He said (mumbling/scatting)

That cat- that cat was mad!
