Well
Ah...
Yeah, I got some tail
I
hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs
I know you're no scare-eyed honey.
There'll be a feast if you just come
upstairs
But it's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
I
can see that you're fifteen years old
No I don't want your I.D.
I can see that you're so far from
home
But that's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
Oh
yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I Bet, bet your mama don't know
you scream like that
I bet your mother don't know you can
spit like that.
You
look so weird and so lost from home
But you don't really miss your mother
Don't look so scared I'm not no mad-brained
bear
But it's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
Oh, yeah
Woo!
I
bet your mama don't know that you scatch like that
I bet she don't know you can bite
like that.
You
say you got a girlfriend, that she's wilder than you
Why don't you bring her upstairs
If she's so wild then she can join
in too
It's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
Oh
yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I bet you mama don't know you can
bite like that
I'll bet she never saw you scratch
my back
