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
It´s tight on this fence since them young dudes are muscling in

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, what can I do, ooh, what can I do?
Ooh, what can I do, ooh what can I do?

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...)

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)

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, what can I do, ooh, what can I do?
Ooh, what can I do, ooh, what can I do?
Ooh, all right, ooh all right
Ooh, all right, ooh all right
Ooh, all right, ooh all right
Oh, all right, oh all right
Oh, all right, oh all right
