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 you´re so far from home But 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 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 you´re so far from home
But you don´t really miss your mother Don´t look so scared I´m 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 friend, 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
