ALLEY CATS

Have you seen the alley cats?
looking sharp in their bowler hats,
never seen a cool cat looking like that,
Everyone get out the way
Sleep in the day, prowl in the night,
yes this band is pretty tight,
chasing all the city rats,
Look out! Here come the alley cats

Last night under a dim street lamp,
Humphrey cracked a deal with Pam,
He said i like you, so i might
love you till the morning light...
All the felines of the neighbourhood
gather around like they should,
When the sun goes down, they roam the town,
no one cares if you're black or brown.

While every one of them home cats
is sitting around becoming a fats,
the alley cats are hungry and lean,
fight to survive - you know what i mean

Have you seen the alley cats?
looking sharp in their bowler hats,
never seen a cool cat looking like that,
Everyone get out the way
Sleep in the day, prowl in the night,
yes this band is pretty tight,
chasing all the city rats,
Look out! Here come the alley cats

Little Joe looks up to Macavity,
who teaches him to defy gravity...
"I'll be like you one day, i wish",
he says to him while stealing fish.
Last night beside the garbage can
the old card players made a plan,
6am is when she'll come
the fisher lady with the big fat bum.
We're gonna be there, we're gonna be square,
We'll pull this off with our nose in the air.
Are you with me lads? Jesus christ!
Just say the word and we pull the heist...

Have you seen the alley cats?

Jimmy had that look of love
that gave those kittens a real heart tug,
he pawed at no one in particular,
his heart it lay with Bette Midler...
Every Sunday from dawn to moon
he sat in Liberty oh sigh oh swoon
Oh no he wouldn't touch a silly rat,
Yes sir, he's an alley cat.

So listen up all you pet house cats,
Margerie, Stewart and Cumberbach -
you be warned and be warned good,
them there cats are in your hood

Have you seen the alley cats?
looking sharp in their bowler hats,
never seen a cool cat looking like that,
Everyone get out the way
Sleep in the day, prowl in the night,
yes this band is pretty tight,
they're the kings and they're the brats
Look out! Here come the alley cats
