Cat Long sighs holdin' 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 It's tight on this fence since them young dudes are musclin' in Jack Knife cries cause Baby's in a bundle She goes runnin' nightly, lightly through the jungle And them tin cans are explodin' out of the ninety degree heat Cat somehow lost his baby down on Bleeker Street It's sad but it sure is true Cat shrugs his shoulders, sits back and sighs Cat Long lies back bent on a trash can Flashin' lights cut the night, dude in the white says he's the man Well, you better move fast when you're young or you're not long around Cat somehow lost his Kitty in the city pound So get right, get tight, get down 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 Kitty's back in town, here she comes now, Kitty's back in town Cat knows Kitty's been untrue and that she left him for a city dude Well, she's so soft, she's so blue When he looks into her eyes he just sits back and sighs Ooh, what can I do, ooh what can I do? Ooh, what can I do, ohh what can I do? Alright Ooh, alright Ooh, alright Ooh, alright Ooh, alright
