Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This cat's on a hot tin roof
Drinkin' that whiskey, 96 proof
Don't need no doctor, don't feel no pain
My legs are just two steps ahead of my brain
[Verse 2]
This cat's on a hot tin roof
This cat's gonna shake it loose
This cat don't get the blues
'Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof
[Verse 3]
This cat's been out on the town
I'm the cat's meow, I'm the king with a crown
My head is spinnin', I got the shakes
I can't stop now 'cause I got no brakes
[Verse 4]
This cat's on a hot tin roof
This cat's gonna shake it loose
This cat don't get the blues
This cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof
[Verse 5]
Well, there ain't no point in holdin' me down
I'll kick and I'll scratch and I'll howl
Hey, hound dog, get outta my way
'Cause this cat is on the prowl
[Verse 6]
This cat is on a hot tin roof
Jumpin' up and down like a long neck goose
Shimmy and shake, baby, you can't fail
Rockin' so hard that it's off the scale
[Verse 7]
This cat is on a hot tin roof
This cat is gonna shake it loose
This cat don't get the blues
'Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof
[Verse 8]
This cat's on a hot tin roof
This cat's gonna shake it loose
This cat don't get the blues
'Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof
