Lyrics

[Verse 1] Catlong sighs, holding Kitty's black tooth She left to marry some top cat; ain't it the cold truth? And there hasn't been a tally since Sally left the alley Since Kitty left with Big Pretty, things have got pretty thin, yeah, yeah It's tight on this fence since them young dudes are muscling in [Verse 2] Well, Jack Knife cries '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 baby down on Bleecker Street It's sad, but it sure is true Cat shrugs his shoulders, sits back and sighs Ooh-ooh-ooh, what can I do? Ooh-ooh-ooh, what can I do? Ooh-ooh-ooh, what can I do? Ooh-ooh-ooh, what can I do? [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Catlong lies, back bent on a trash can Flashing lights cut the night, dude in the white says he's the man Well, 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 So get right, get tight, get down Well, who's that down at the end of the alley? She's been gone so long (Here she comes, here she comes) (Here she comes, here she comes) (Here she comes, here she comes) (Here she comes, here she comes) [Chorus] Kitty's back in town (Here she comes now) Kitty's back in town (Oh-oh, all right) Kitty's back in town (Here she comes now) Kitty's back in town (Oh-oh, all right) Kitty's back in town (Here she comes now) Oh, Kitty's back in town (Oh-oh, all right) Kitty's back in town (Here she comes now) Kitty's back in town (Oh-oh, all right) [Verse 4] Now, 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 Ooh-ooh-ooh, what can I do? Ooh-ooh-ooh, what can I do? Ooh-ooh-ooh, what can I do? Ooh-ooh-ooh, what can I do? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right Ahahahaha (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, all right. Oh, all right) [Outro] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, all right. Ooh, all right Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, all right. Ooh, all right Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, all right. Ooh, all right Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, all right. Ooh, all right Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, all right. Ooh, all right Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, all right. Ooh, all right Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, all right. Ooh, all right Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, all right. Ooh, all right Oh-oh-oh-oh...
