Catlong 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 Sally 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 90-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

Catlong lies back-bent on a trash can
Flashin´ lights that 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 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, ooh, what can I do? Alright
Ooh alright, ooh alright
Ooh alright, ooh alright
